The illuminated globe PLANET ERDE offers a unique wealth of geographical and astronomical information; the Earth's movements, its orbit around the Sun in 365 days, its 24-hour rotation, the subsolar area, the Sun's path between the tropics, times, sunrise and sunset times, a 24-hour time scale, and a year scale (adjustable to any period within the four seasons). The scale at the base allows any day of the year to be set. The time for any location on Earth can be read at the intersection of the respective longitude (meridian) with the equator on the equatorial ring. Illuminated: Day and night division and precise political image. Unlit: The vegetation geography of our Earth.
