  • Patent number: 5197043
    Abstract: A clock, a calendar, and a two dimensional model of the earth viewed looking at the polar axis as the earth is rotated during a twenty-four hour period thus showing day and night, dawn and dusk. The shadow cast on the earth by the absence of the sun's rays are also shown. The changing of said shadow to show the seasons of the year is also shown as the shadow is rotated once every 365 days. The disc containing the rotating shadow has a pointer that tells the observer the month of the year and the day of the month along with the sign of the zodiac. The rotating earth map has symbols to represent the major cities of the earth and a symbol to represent the pole.
