Jlab Export is a leading Sun Scale Kit Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Sun Scale Kit (code EL-AE-7208) is a student measurement kit used to measure the diameter of the Sun, its distance from Earth and solar eclipses in school astronomy and physics practicals. Each kit has one hardwood half-metre track, one adjustable calibrated projection screen and an instruction guide, and it brings mathematics into the science investigation. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Is the Sun Scale Kit Used For?
The kit lets students answer “how big is the Sun?” by measurement rather than by looking it up. The Sun’s image is projected onto the calibrated screen, and the image together with its distance along the track forms a pair of similar triangles with the real Sun and its distance from Earth: the ratio of the image’s diameter to the projection distance equals the ratio of the Sun’s diameter to its distance, so knowing one of the two real values lets students calculate the other. That is the mathematics the kit builds in — ratio and similar triangles, as in CBSE class 10 mathematics — and the instruction guide takes students through the measurements, including following a solar eclipse on the screen.
Safety comes first: students must never look at the Sun directly or through any lens, binoculars or telescope, and should observe only the image on the screen, under supervision. Set the track on a steady surface, adjust the screen gently, and wipe the hardwood with a dry cloth before storing.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 kits; plan one per group for practical sessions.
- Companion models — add an orbiter or Project Planetarium if you are teaching eclipses as a whole topic.
- Delivery — destination city or port and any packing or labelling needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Sun Scale Kit?
One hardwood half-metre track, one adjustable calibrated projection screen and an instruction guide.
What can students measure with it?
The diameter of the Sun, the distance of the Sun from Earth, and solar eclipses, along with several other Sun-related phenomena described in the guide.
How does it find the size of the Sun?
By comparing the projected image with its distance along the track. The two form similar triangles with the real Sun and its distance, so the same ratio links them; if one real value is known, the other follows.
How should students observe the Sun with this kit?
Only on the projection screen. They must never look at the Sun directly or through any optical device, and a teacher should supervise every session.
What should an export quotation request include?
Quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling requirements, and any tender reference.
Who manufactures the kit?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab), at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer in India of astronomy kits, physics practical apparatus and school laboratory equipment, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The kit is made at JLab’s own works, not sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order from the maker, each kit is visually checked before dispatch, and repeat orders and spare parts are handled by the manufacturer.
