Product Code : SCL-ALE-11950
Solar & Lunar Eclipse (SKU SCL-ALE-11950) is an educational demonstration model that explains two astronomical events with one set of Sun, Earth and Moon positions: the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. It suits astronomy, geography, Earth science and general science lessons in schools and colleges where light, shadow and alignment are taught. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the eclipse model at its Saha, Ambala factory in India and quotes it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors without a middleman.
Specifications
The eclipse model's details appear in the table. In short, it is one teaching model for comparing the alignment that produces a solar eclipse with the alignment that produces a lunar eclipse; the light source, material, dimensions, scale and movement mechanism of the unit are confirmed on the quotation before you order.

Applications and Experiments for the Solar and Lunar Eclipse Model
The model lets a class set up both eclipse alignments and ask which body casts the shadow each time. With the Moon placed between the Sun and Earth, students see a solar eclipse; with Earth between the Sun and Moon, a lunar eclipse; comparing the two makes the difference clear.
- Middle-school science: eclipses as a consequence of light travelling in straight lines and shadows forming behind opaque bodies.
- Shadow formation studied first on the bench, with shadow-forming pegs on the Colour Shadow Apparatus Optics Lab or parallel beams from the Rectangular Optical Light Box.
- Geography and Earth science: how relative position decides which body is shadowed.
- Exhibitions and teacher-led demonstrations.
During a real solar eclipse, never look directly at the Sun without proper solar-viewing protection.
Standard Scope of Supply
The standard supply is one Solar & Lunar Eclipse educational model made at the Ambala factory. Whether the unit includes a light source, and its scale, material, size and movement mechanism, are all written into the quotation, so you can see exactly how the Sun, Earth and Moon are represented.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes cover anything from a single eclipse model to one for every science room in a school chain. The packing, delivery time and price for your quantity are stated on each quote, and companion astronomy models or STEM science kits can be grouped on it too.
Science Lab Supplies is an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Eclipse-model quotes can be requested on the contact page or through the enquiry cart; for tendered purchases, see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?
In a solar eclipse the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth and casts a shadow on Earth. In a lunar eclipse Earth sits between the Sun and Moon, and Earth's shadow falls on the Moon.
Does the model include a light source?
Whether a lamp or any electrical supply is part of the unit is stated on the quotation. If a lamp is included, operate it only as the supplied instructions describe and at its rated supply.
Is the model made to astronomical scale?
No. It is an educational demonstration model, not a precision scale replica. Dust it with a soft, dry cloth, never force its movable parts, and store it dry and away from knocks between lessons.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies makes this eclipse model itself in Saha, Ambala, India, so it acts as the manufacturer and not as a trading intermediary. Price, packing and dispatch details come to you straight from the producing unit.
