A teaching and science popularization celestial globe of the invention relates to the fields of education technology,
astronomy and science, school education and teaching of earth and
space science, urban and rural science popularization, and celestial space research, and aims to solve the problem that
astronomy and geography teaching in universities, middle schools and primary schools lacks
planet space teaching instruments as well as design schemes and technologies for celestial globe manufacturing and using. The teaching and science popularization celestial globe is composed of a four-
color map globe (1), a transparent celestial globe (2), an equatorial
longitude large disc (3), a double-lug bow-shaped
latitude half disc (4), a celestial axis (5), two
metal circular-hole plain cushions (6), two rubber sleeves (7), and a base (8). The teaching and science popularization celestial globe is used for demonstrating the Tropic of
Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn of a globe, the celestial
equator, the ecliptic, the moon's path, the celestial
equator dividing line and the
longitude and
latitude space model on a celestial globe, the 24 solar terms in geography, 88 constellations in the starry
sky, the approximate locations of
stars and planets of 28 constellations of Chinese asterism, and teaching and science popularization of natural phenomena in knowledge of the 88 constellations in
astronomy and earth and space sciences.
