About Sun Dial Model

Wind Vane Model

We are a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Wind Vane Models designed for geography laboratories, weather studies, environmental science education, and STEM learning programs. This educational model demonstrates how wind direction is measured and helps students understand one of the most important instruments used in meteorology.

The Wind Vane Model consists of a freely rotating vane mounted on a vertical stand with clearly marked cardinal directionsNorth (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). The broad tail catches the wind and causes the pointer to align with the direction from which the wind is blowing. This simple yet effective apparatus provides a practical understanding of wind direction measurement and weather observation.

The model is ideal for schools, colleges, science laboratories, and weather education activities.

Robust Design for Everyday Learning

This sun dial features a durable anti-rust coated metal construction, ensuring longevity and repeated classroom use. The clear metallic dial with crisp black markings enhances readability, vital for effective demonstrations and understanding basic solar time principles.

Easy Setup and Demonstration

Perfect for Educational Environments

Aimed at learners aged 10 and above, the GKA-124 model is an excellent choice for schools, colleges, and astronomy clubs. It comes packaged with an informative leaflet, assisting both teachers and students during demonstrations and independent study sessions.

FAQ's of Sun Dial Model:

Q: How do you use the GKA-124 Sun Dial for time demonstration?

A: Place the sun dial model on a flat desk or lab surface in direct sunlight. Align it so the gnomon points north, and observe the shadow on the dial markings to read the solar time.

Q: What is the primary educational benefit of using this sun dial model?

A: The GKA-124 sun dial helps students grasp the fundamentals of solar time measurement by providing clear, hands-on experience with natural sunlight and shadow observation.

Q: Where can the sun dial model be set up for accurate results?

A: It performs best on a level outdoor or well-lit indoor surface exposed directly to sunlight, such as classroom windowsills, science labs, or exhibition tables.

Q: What is the process for reading the time on the analog sun dial?

A: After setting up, note where the gnomon's shadow falls on the black markings of the dial. The position of the shadow indicates the hour, demonstrating how the sun's position tracks time.

Q: When is the ideal time to use the sun dial model for demonstrations?

A: The model operates anytime during daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset, whenever sunlight is available to cast a clear shadow.
