Product Code : EL-GM-10662
Jlab Export is a leading Elementary Planetarium Model For Earth Science Lab Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Elementary Planetarium Model For Earth Science Lab (code EL-GM-10662) is a hand-operated Sun–Earth–Moon model that shows how the three bodies move together over a year, used to teach eclipses, moon phases and seasons in school geography and earth science. Its lit Sun throws a beam onto the Earth, and a chain drive keeps the North Pole pointed towards Polaris. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Sun–Earth–Moon Models?
| Model | Drive | Topics named in its listing |
|---|---|---|
| Elementary Planetarium Model (EL-GM-10662) | Hand-operated, chain drive; lit Sun | Solar, lunar and annular eclipses, moon phases, seasons, Moon’s shadow and twilight zones |
| Tellurium Earth Moon Sun Model | Hand-operated, belt drive | Day and night, length and direction of shadows, seasons, phases of the Moon, eclipses of the Sun and Moon |
| Sun-Earth-Moon Model | Set of gears | Seasons, day–night alternation, moon cycles, solar and lunar eclipses |

Choose this model when you want the lit Sun to make shadows and twilight zones visible during a teacher demonstration; the tellurium adds shadow-length work, and Project Planetarium is meant for students working at their own desks.
What Is the Elementary Planetarium Model Used For?
Operated by hand, the model carries the Earth around the Sun and the Moon around the Earth, so a teacher can take the class through a full year in one demonstration. Because the chain drive keeps the Earth’s axis pointing towards Polaris all the way round, students see each hemisphere tilt towards the Sun and then away from it — the reason for the seasons. The beam from the lit Sun shows the twilight zone between day and night and lets the class watch the Moon’s shadow fall on the Earth in a solar eclipse or the Earth’s shadow cover the Moon in a lunar eclipse. An annular eclipse, when the Moon is too far away to cover the Sun completely and a ring of light remains, can be discussed in the same way. The model fits topics on the motions of the Earth, eclipses and phases of the Moon in school geography and science, and introductory astronomy or earth science classes. Darken the room for the clearest shadows and operate the drive gently.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; schools usually need one per teaching room rather than one per group.
- Power for the lit Sun — the listing does not state the lamp’s supply, so give your country’s mains voltage and plug type in the enquiry.
- Companion items — a moon phases chart or a globe can be added to the same order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Elementary Planetarium Model demonstrate?
How the Sun, Earth and Moon move in relation to one another over a year, including solar, lunar and annular eclipses, the phases of the Moon and the seasons.
Why does the North Pole stay pointed at Polaris?
The chain drive holds the Earth’s axis in the same direction as it orbits, as in reality. That is what makes each hemisphere lean towards the Sun in its summer and away from it in its winter.
What does the lit Sun add?
Its beam is aimed at the Earth, so students can see the Moon’s shadow and the twilight zones between day and night instead of imagining them.
How is it different from the Tellurium Earth Moon Sun Model?
Both are hand-operated. This model uses a chain drive and a lit Sun to show shadows and twilight zones; the tellurium uses a belt drive and its listing also covers the length and direction of shadows.
What powers the lamp in the Sun?
The listing does not say. State your mains voltage and plug type when you enquire, and ask JLab to confirm the arrangement in the quotation.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of geography models, astronomy teaching aids and laboratory equipment, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The planetarium model is built at JLab’s own works and is not bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order factory-direct, each unit is inspected by eye before packing, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and can reach buyers in every region — among them Lebanon in the Middle East, Lesotho in Southern Africa, Denmark in Northern Europe, Samoa in Oceania and France in Western Europe. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.
