Product Code : SCL-A-12188
The Solar & Lunar Eclipse Manual Model is a classroom astronomy teaching model used for demonstrating solar eclipse and lunar eclipse formation through Sun-Earth-Moon alignment, shadow position, and orbital movement. It is designed for schools, science laboratories, geography classrooms, STEM labs, astronomy clubs, and teacher-led space science demonstrations.
Product Description
The Solar & Lunar Eclipse Manual Model from School Equipments helps students understand why eclipses occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align correctly. The model allows teachers to manually position the Moon and Earth to show how shadows create a solar eclipse or lunar eclipse.
This manual eclipse model supports astronomy, geography, environmental science, and Earth-space science lessons. It can be used with Astronomy Lab Kit, Astronomy Laboratory Equipment, Earth, Space & Environment, and related Sun-Earth-Moon teaching resources.
Key Features
- 2 eclipse demonstrations: Shows both solar eclipse and lunar eclipse formation in one classroom model.
- Manual working operation: Allows teachers and students to position the Sun, Earth, and Moon step by step.
- Shadow formation learning: Helps explain umbra, penumbra, blocking of sunlight, and Earth’s shadow.
- Sun-Earth-Moon alignment: Demonstrates the relative positions required for eclipse events.
- STEM classroom use: Suitable for astronomy, geography, environmental science, and space science lessons.
- Visual teaching aid: Converts eclipse theory into a clear, hands-on model activity.
- Reusable demonstration model: Useful for classroom teaching, project displays, quizzes, and science exhibitions.

How to Use the Solar & Lunar Eclipse Manual Model
- Place the model on a stable classroom table or demonstration bench.
- Identify the Sun, Earth, Moon, orbit path, and shadow regions.
- For a solar eclipse, position the Moon between the Sun and Earth.
- Show how the Moon blocks sunlight and casts a shadow on Earth.
- For a lunar eclipse, position Earth between the Sun and Moon.
- Show how Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon during alignment.
- Ask students to label umbra, penumbra, solar eclipse, and lunar eclipse positions.
Safety note: This model is for classroom demonstration only. Do not allow students to look directly at the Sun during related outdoor lessons unless approved solar-viewing equipment and teacher supervision are provided.
Care & Maintenance
- Wipe the model with a soft, dry cloth after use.
- Store detachable labels, guide sheets, and accessories together.
- Keep the model away from moisture, direct heat, and rough handling.
- Do not force rotating arms or moving parts; check alignment before demonstration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Solar & Lunar Eclipse Manual Model used for?
A Solar & Lunar Eclipse Manual Model is used to demonstrate how solar and lunar eclipses occur through the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
How does the model explain a solar eclipse?
The model shows a solar eclipse by placing the Moon between the Sun and Earth. This position demonstrates how the Moon can block sunlight and cast a shadow on Earth.
How does the model explain a lunar eclipse?
The model shows a lunar eclipse by placing Earth between the Sun and Moon. This position demonstrates how Earth’s shadow can fall on the Moon.
Is this model suitable for schools?
Yes. It is suitable for school science laboratories, geography classrooms, astronomy clubs, STEM labs, activity rooms, and science exhibitions.
Does the model need electricity?
No. The standard version is treated as a manual model unless an illuminated version is specifically supplied. Buyers should confirm the supplied version before ordering.
What should buyers confirm before ordering?
Buyers should confirm material, dimensions, moving mechanism, light source, labels, base type, packing, and whether a teacher activity guide is included.
