Besides a vertical sturdy plastic meridian, which has latitudinal degree markings, a horizontal meridian bisects the globe and features a notch for each of the day's 24 hours. It can be used to tell what time of day it is in any part of the world. The desktop globe's illumination only covers half of the model, making the sunrise and sunset times readily apparent across the world. The Marco Polo is the most information rich globe on the market, making it an indispensable educational tool.
