14" Globe, Brass Base,

Description

This distinctive globe is one of the most unusual and informative products now available. It's unique features allow the user to see the position of the earth and sunlight for any time of any day during the year. The base of the globe has a scale that can be set to the date; the equatorial ring shows the 24 hours of the day. When the light is turned on, the globe is illuminated in the area where the sun is shining; the rest of the globe is in night. The globe also displays zones of twilight and the point where the sun is directly overhead. Students will be able to visualize what they have been taught; everyone will appreciate seeing a more complete picture of the world. Not only is this globe uniquely informative, it is also a beautiful object. The 14" acrylic globe, mounted on a brass base, displays a map carefully created using the finest cartography available in globes, using Columbus' trademarked Panorama map. When the globe is not illuminated it shows the earth's physical relief and vegetation; when lit it also displays political information. The globe, with base, stands 17" tall. A beautiful and informative addition for any home or office.
