We hope you enjoy your Night’n Day®.
This is a model of the Earth that accurately shows its orientation in
space with respect to the Sun at any time of day or year. Whether you
live in Paris or Cape Town, Night’n Day® shows the way the Earth
would look from space as it orbits the Sun and turns on its axis.
A precise gear and motor system turns the globe at the same rate that
the real Earth turns. It also reproduces how the northern and southern
hemispheres go through seasonal change.
Night’n Day® is a clock and calendar that shows the time of day and
date for any location on Earth. It also demonstrates which parts of the
Earth are in daylight. As the globe turns you can see where people on
Earth are experiencing sunrise, sunset and twilight times.
In summer and winter, the globe shows how much the hemisphere you
live in is tipped toward or away from the Sun. See for yourself how
polar regions experience 24-hour day and night in different seasons.
WARNING!
The LED lamp and holder
become hot during operation
– do not touch until they cool off.
CAUTION
Not recommended for children under 14 years of age. As with all electric products,
precautions should be observed during handling and use to prevent electric shock.
