T-M162 Earth-Moon-Sun Trisphere DIY Learning Kit

Overview

The T-M162 Earth-Moon-Sun Trisphere DIY Learning Kit is a hands-on astronomy kit designed to make celestial mechanics easy to understand. This interactive trisphere model clearly demonstrates how the Earth rotates and revolves, how the Moon orbits the Earth, and how day and night, lunar phases, and solar and lunar eclipses occur. It is ideal for classroom demonstrations, science fairs, and home learning for young astronomers and STEM students.

Key Features

• Interactive Trisphere Model: Visual representation of the Earth-Moon-Sun relationship for clear conceptual learning.
• Visual Learning: See day and night cycles and the changing phases of the Moon in real time.
• Eclipse Simulation: Recreate solar and lunar eclipses through realistic mechanical motion and positioning.
• STEM Educational Kit: Encourages understanding of astronomy, mechanics, and spatial motion.
• Hands-On Assembly: Build and operate the model to reinforce learning through doing.
• Durable Components: Constructed from sturdy plastic, metal rods, and mechanical parts for repeated classroom use.

What You Will Learn

• How the Earth rotates on its axis and produces day and night.
• How the Earth revolves around the Sun and the effect on seasons and perspective.
• The Moon’s orbit around Earth and how lunar phases form.
• How solar and lunar eclipses occur based on the relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
• Basic mechanical assembly and gear-driven motion principles (motorized versions available).

Package Includes

• Earth sphere model
• Moon sphere model
• Sun sphere model
• Rotating base and mechanical arms
• Connecting rods and gears
• Assembly screws and nuts
• Instruction manual with step-by-step guide

Specifications

• Model: T-M162
• Material: Plastic, metal rods, electronic components (if applicable)
