Sun Movement Teaching Aids

thingiverse

Teaching aids and ornaments based on concepts 2069650 and 2081305 make fascinating mobiles when combined. The five diagrams illustrate the sun's movement at latitudes of 0, 23, 33, 42, and 51 degrees in detail. Adding a representation of the sun to these diagrams creates an engaging visual aid. The idea for these models and ornaments originated from a discussion about Solstices and Equinoxes on the geomancy website - http://www.geomancy.org/index.php/astronomy/orthographic-projections. This website provides valuable insights into astronomical phenomena.

The circle representing the horizon is marked at 10-degree intervals, while the line marking solstices and equinoxes represents an arc from north to south, also marked at 10-degree intervals.
