Revolution of the Earth

Start

What does Earth's orbit around the Sun look like? What would a greater eccentricity of the track cause?

Seasons

Start

What induces the seasons? How high is the sun over the year in different latitudes? And how would the situation change when the Earth's axis had a different slope?

Solar time

Start

Can you explain what Solar time is and what is it derived from? What is the length of the bright day at different places on Earth?

Time zones

Start

What zone time is currently in different cities on Earth? View an interactive map!

The Moon, Eclipse and Tides

Moon phases

Start

How do the moon phases that we can see from the Earth originate?

Solar and Lunar eclipses

Start

When there is an eclipse of the Sun or Moon, what is the Moon phase? And why there is not eclipse occurring every time of that stage? Explore the mechanism of the solar and lunar eclipse!

Future eclipses

Start

When will the solar or lunar eclipse occur in the future, and where will it be observable?

Tidal phenomena

Start

Where does the high tide and low tide occur on the Earth? Explore a 3D animation of this phenomenon!

Distances and dimensions

Start

Can you imagine what distances between the planets are and what dimensions do they have? Experience a map application that will present these enormous distances and dimensions in a familiar environment.
