  • the dividing line between the part of the Earth which is lit and that which is in the shade is called the terrestrial terminator.
  • the terrestrial terminator is a large circle which surrounds the terrestrial globe. This large circle extends in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun (called the plane of the ecliptic). We can also note that the center of the Earth is on the line of intersection between these two planes.
  • the length of the day varies throughout the year and also depends on the latitude.

  • the movement of the shadow 113 in the form of a half-sphere relative to the sphere 117 is the result of the composition of distinct rotations along two perpendicular axes crossing at the center of the sphere.
  • the first of these two rotations is performed by the sphere 117 which is arranged to rotate at the rate of one revolution in 24 hours around a first of these two axes, and the other rotation corresponds to the pivoting of the shadow 113 in shape of a hemisphere around the second axis and results in a variation of the angle of inclination of the hemisphere relative to the first axis.
