Have you ever wanted to actually see how
Alaska experiences complete days in darkness or daylight? Have you ever
wondered why the International Dateline has such significance in the
business world? The National Geographic Planet Earth can answer these
questions and many more. With the light off the globe shows the political
map of the world. When the light is on, it shows the physical features of
the world - but that's not all. This unique educational tool also shows day
and nighttime for any time, date, and location in the world throughout the
four seasons. It can be manually adjusted both forward and backward to see
past, present, and future hours of daylight and darkness for easy
demonstration and understanding. A pinpoint light shows the actual location
of the sun throughout the year. Unique "twilight rings" depict the three
zones of dawn and dusk. Superb design and engineering, combined with the
expert cartography of National Geographic, creates a learning tool that is
fun and easy to use. The base is plastic, with a matte brass finish. Comes
complete with a detailed instruction booklet and Certificate of
Authenticity.
Please note: All Illuminated globes have
an electrical cord to power the internal light bulb. The cord is
hidden in the photo, but comes out of the base.
