And you’re off…exploring the world! The planet earth really is astonishing. It’s difficult to imagine the vast distances between neighbouring continents, the wide oceans and seas that cover over 70% of its surface, and the near 200 countries that exist around the world. This 20cm diameter globe is a miniature model of our huge planet at your finger-tips, giving you access to continents, oceans, countries and major cities. It's a useful introduction to the fascinating science of geography, as well as being a convenient desktop reference. The globe is mounted on a tilted arc stand, to represent the earth's angle in relation to its plane of orbit, helping to visualise how the seasons change through the year. The battery powered light allows you to see the various countries in brightly coloured blocks, with clear political boundaries. It looks especially magical as a soft glow bedside light!
