Time Indicator

Description
In this video, we demonstrate a Time Indicator table-top model to explain how time varies across different places on Earth. Using Earth’s rotation and reference lines, students learn how day, night, and time zones are connected.
Learning Objectives
  1. Understand the concept of time difference on Earth.

  2. Learn how Earth’s rotation affects time.

  3. Identify time zones and reference lines.

  4. Understand why different places have different local times.

  5. Develop Earth–space visualization skills.

Key Takeaways
  • Earth rotates once in about 24 hours.

  • Different longitudes experience day and night at different times.

  • Time zones help maintain standard time across regions.

  • A table-top model makes time differences easy to understand.

  • This model explains global timekeeping clearly.
