Orbit Tellurium 2
Product Code : LSK-PL-10299
Orbit Tellurium 2 (SKU LSK-PL-10299) is a Sun, Earth and Moon model, geared to show each month as the Earth orbits the Sun, with a bright lamp standing in for the Sun. Teachers use it to demonstrate night and day, seasons, the length of days, shadows, phases of the Moon and eclipses in primary, middle and secondary classes. Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The tellurium measures 650 x 250 mm (length x height) and is correctly geared so the Moon and Earth move in step as each month passes. It runs from a 6 V transformer, which is supplied, and comes with a sundial, stick-on model person, Moon phase indicator, eclipse shadow card, date indicator and teaching guide.

Applications and Experiments for the Orbit Tellurium 2
With the lamp lit, the model shows why one side of the Earth has day while the other has night, how the tilted axis produces seasons and changing day length, and how the Moon's position creates phases and eclipses. The sundial and model person let pupils watch shadows change during a day and a season.
- Primary science and geography: day and night and the Sun's apparent motion.
- NCERT Class 6 geography: motions of the Earth and seasons.
- Middle-school science: phases of the Moon and solar and lunar eclipses.
- Shadow studies: changing length and direction of shadows over a day and a season.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set includes the tellurium model, a model sundial, an Earth axis extension, a stick-on model person, a phase of the Moon indicator, an eclipse shadow card, a date indicator, two Earths and Moons, the teaching guide and the 6 V transformer for electrical operation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request a price for one tellurium or for a set for several classrooms. Every quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity, and an orrery or other school physics lab equipment in India can be added so the astronomy corner is priced in one document.
