Features and Structure
Rotation
Globes can 
rotate like a top 
or potter's 
wheel, 
mimicking 
Earth's 
movement.
Axis
A tilted needle 
represents 
Earth's axis, 
connecting the 
North and 
South poles.
Imaginary 
Lines
The globe 
contains 
latitude and 
longitude lines 
measured in 
degrees.
Circle of 
Illumination
This imaginary 
line divides day 
from night on 
the globe.

(23½°N)
Passes through 
Northern hemisphere, 
including half of India.
Tropic of Capricorn 
(23½°S)
Runs through the 
Southern hemisphere.
Arctic Circle (66½°N)
Located in the Northern hemisphere.
Antarctic Circle (66½°S)

Time Zones and the International 
Date Line
Indian Standard Time 
(IST)
Based on 82°30'E 
meridian. IST is 5 hours 
and 30 minutes ahead 
of Greenwich Mean 
Time.
International Date Line
Located near 180° 
longitude. Crossing from 
East to West loses a 
day; West to East gains 
a day.
Local Time Differences
Places on different meridians have different local 
times. Dwarka and Dibrugarh differ by 105 minutes.
