Earth Clock: The History of Our Planet in 24 Hours

Product Information

Hour Earth Clock: Visualize time naturally as the cycle of a day from sunrise to sunset for cities all around the world. We are all familiar with the idea of the leap year, when we add a day to the calendar every four years.

The real difficulty of the design was to find a gear combination linking the day rotation and the year rotation and to keep it compact. Since the hour hand only rotates around the clock once per a day, easily see and understand proportionally how much time you have left in the day. As they turn slowly, they will see the Sun move slowly westward, and finally disappear over the western horizon! HIGH-QUALITY: A high-quality QUARZ silent movement with silver / chromed hands has been used to operate the wall clock.

In a time when most educated people believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth every day, Aristarchus theorized that a spinning Earth and a stationary Sun would explain the same diurnal motion we see in the sky each day as the Sun rises, crosses the sky from east to west, and then sets again. The Earth Wall Clock by Present Time is a masterpiece that adds an extraordinary touch to any space.

Each clock has been handmade using scratched vinyl supplied by partner DJs, each VINYL CLOCK is as eco-friendly as it is unique: the label on the record is always different. By bidding on, or purchasing this item, you are agreeing to us sharing your name and address details with that 3rd party supplier to allow us to fulfil our contractual obligations to you. This works best when sunrise or moonrise is straight up off the horizon; for this reason you will get the most accurate results timing the sunrise in June, and the moonrise in December. Remember that you are marking a 24-hour clock, so instead of having 12, 3, 6, and 9 at the cardinal points like a standard clock face, you will have Noon, 6 pm, Midnight, and 6 am. The CLASSIC COLLECTION by DISC’O’CLOCK marries recycled records and numberless faces to create tasty timepieces.Put the piece [15] into the southern hemisphere [14] without turning it, align south Africa with north America and rotate the northern hemisphere by 1/3rd of turn. Since its famous launch in New York in September 2020, Climate Clock teams have sprung up across the world from Chiapas to Kazakhstan, from Korea to Glasgow. Consider adding some astronomical features to your daily calendar such as the phase of the Moon, the length of the day, or noting equinox and solstice days! Since the hour hand starts the day pointing down, the minute hand also tracks minutes starting pointing down as well and pointing straight up marks minute 30 of the hour.
