Description

Models organize big ideas for scientists and students; they identify and test questions and are ideal tools for thinking. The Earth/Moon Rotation orrery shows our planetary movement around the sun and demonstrates lunar orbit and moon phases when illuminated with an accompanying light. It also helps explain why seasons take place, the relationship between the Sun, Earth, and Moon and how proportionality can be understood in tangible terms.
