This three-dimensional model allows students to study the motion of the Earth and Moon around the sun and demonstrates the science behind phenomena such as seasons, phases of the moon, eclipses, and tides. During Earth's one-year period of revolution, the tilt of its axis results in changes in the angle of incidence of the Sun's rays at a given latitude. These changes cause variations in the heating of the surface which produces seasonal weather variations.

The model features a 5.9" Sun, a 4" diameter Earth, and a 1" diameter Moon.

The Earth can be manually moved to show its rotation around the Sun, and the Moon can be moved to show its rotation around the Earth. The Sun has LED inside which demonstrates the effect that sunlight has on the Earth and Moon. Requires two AA batteries (not included).

The sturdy base features a chart labeling each month and the seasons of both the Northern & Southern hemispheres. The model stands 12.25" in total height, 16.25" wide, and 4.75" in length.

The model includes a comprehensive experiment guide that includes three activities, worksheets, and various topics for further exploration, as well as Solstice and Equinox charts.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
