The Model of The Celestial Sphere (for high school) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Model of The Celestial Sphere (for high school) (Product Code: SCL282/046) is a 300 mm transparent celestial globe on a gyroscopic support, with a small Earth shown at its centre. The main reference circles, the celestial equator and the celestial meridians, are marked on the sphere, together with an equatorial or horizontal plane, so students can see how astronomers locate stars on the sky as seen from Earth. This item of astronomy lab equipment is manufactured in India by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Because the globe is transparent, students can look through it from the Earth’s point of view and relate what they see on the model to the real sky. Turning the sphere on its support shows the apparent daily rotation of the heavens: stars near the celestial pole circle without setting, while those near the celestial equator rise and set. The marked equator and meridians give a concrete picture of declination and right ascension, the sky’s equivalents of latitude and longitude.

With the horizontal plane set for the school’s own latitude, the teacher can show why the pole star stands at the same height above the horizon as the observer’s latitude, and why the Sun’s path changes through the year. The model links geography lessons on the Earth’s axis with physics and astronomy club work, and it pairs naturally with geography models such as globes and planetaria. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and store it covered to keep the transparent sphere clear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the model?
The celestial sphere has a diameter of 300 mm, large enough for a teacher to demonstrate at the front of a class.

Which reference circles are marked?
The celestial equator and the celestial meridians are indicated, along with an equatorial or horizontal plane.

Are constellations shown on the sphere?
Star patterns are not described on this listing. If you need constellations, see the Celestial Star Globe or contact us to confirm the markings.

Is it suitable for geography as well as physics classes?
Yes. It helps explain the Earth’s axis, latitude and the apparent motion of the sky, topics shared by geography and physics syllabi.

How should the transparent globe be cleaned?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can cloud or scratch the surface.

Can you quote for several schools or an export order?
Yes. Provide code SCL282/046, the quantity and delivery locations; we supply institutions in India and international markets.
