Product Code : SCL-ALE-11948
Time Indicator Earth Model (SKU SCL-ALE-11948) is an astronomy and geography teaching aid for explaining how Earth's rotation causes local time to differ from place to place. It suits lessons on rotation, day and night, world time and geographical location in schools and colleges, and in general science classes. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the model at its unit in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies schools, tender contractors and distributors at first hand.
Specifications
Details of the time-indicator Earth model are given row by row below. In short, it is one demonstration model relating Earth's rotation to time differences between locations; it is not a timekeeping instrument, and its material, dimensions, time markings and turning mechanism are confirmed on the quotation for the unit you order.

Applications and Experiments for the Time Indicator Earth Model
The model shows that as Earth turns on its axis, different places face towards or away from the Sun at different times. Turning it according to its design and reading the markings it carries, students can compare the time at two locations and link the result to longitude and global time differences.
- School geography: longitude, local time and why clocks differ around the world.
- Astronomy basics: Earth's rotation and the day-and-night cycle, with the Sun's role introduced through the Sun Model.
- Earth science: position and direction on the globe, extended with compass work using the Earth Magnetic-Field Study Set.
- Environmental studies and teacher-led classroom demonstrations.
Turn the model gently and only in the way it is designed to move; do not force the mechanism.
Standard Scope of Supply
A single Time Indicator Earth Model makes up the standard supply, built at the Ambala factory. Its construction material, size, time markings and operating mechanism are written into the quotation, so a geography department can confirm that the unit shows what its syllabus needs before the order is placed.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are available for one model or for a set of models across several geography rooms. Each lists the packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and as a science kit manufacturer in India, Science Lab Supplies can add other Earth and astronomy models to the same quotation.
Using its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Prices for Earth models can be requested via the contact page or the enquiry cart, with tender buying covered on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Earth's rotation affect time?
Earth rotates on its axis, so different locations face towards or away from the Sun at different moments. That rotation is the basis of day and night and of the differences in local time between places.
Does the model show exact world time zones?
The time markings and divisions on the unit you order are stated on the quotation. For a model built around standard time and time zones, the Standard Time Indicator Model can be quoted alongside it.
Can it be used as a clock?
No. It is an educational demonstration model with no timekeeping accuracy. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth, store it in a dry place away from knocks, and stop using it if a moving part works loose.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Every Time Indicator Earth Model is assembled at Science Lab Supplies' own works in Saha, Ambala, which makes the firm its manufacturer, not a reseller. Your quotation comes from the same team that builds and packs the model.
