Computer help. Globe - Model of Earth

Depending on your location, a city on a virtual globe is displayed in real time.
(Very convenient for those who have come "Groundhog Day" or "Hamster Day".)
You can twist, increase, reduce, speed up the ball.
Control: "mouse" or on the globe panel - buttons.

If you are interested in getting the geographical coordinates of the house, streets, cities, then use the service on our website the definition service and latitude

And for those who are interested in a virtual globe online, use the Google Service and Plugin - Planet Earth 3D.

If you use a proxy server to hide your IP address on the network, this widget, a good check of your proxy.

Note: For professionals, you will not hide your IP and your location (rel. Hacker films lovers (for them. In view of American labud)). Do not forget - the network of the Internet is transparent for a specialist, a web she is a web, under one condition: unless of course it is not profitable "ko-to whom" (again money?).

An excerpt from an unfinished fairy tale based on the work: "The fairy tale about military secret, Cybalchish and his firm word" author Arcadia Gaidar.

"In those distant-long years, ...
Gave somehow the main bourgeois boys-bad burghers expensive, expensive, beautiful-beautiful foreign new fashionable devices - the Swiss watch, and then said the main bourgeois, through the main bird named Twitter:
- "Do not translate the arrows of the clock, the devices very fine work of the masters of distant countries will break and you will not be much happiness in this time, and you will never become real bourgeois."
....
From those old times and "great happiness" appeared, happiness to wake up at night and go to bed at night. And everyone healed well in the dark kingdom: in wealth and peace of mind.
And about the boy's kibalchish who knew the secret of the waist forgotten ... "
....
And now, in the distant or close 2013, the boy-silly appeared, who once looked into the window of his huts, then on the sluggish cuckoo in the clock and felt somehow not very, well, let's say not very good.
I thought he thought for a long time I thought and decided that my well-being was secretly connected with the clock.
I scratched the Rope of Cherish-Storm, there was nothing to do, gathered his simple belongings and went to the main city to know the knowledgeable boys to learn the secret of his health, and at the same time, can cuckoo curtail.
Listened to the knowledgeable boys carefully a boy-stupid, inspected him and say:
- Your health is Hilly not from the clock with a cuckoo that you brought us, and from what we ourselves do not know and can not understand, go better for the hillock to the boys of the main bourgeois.
Again, I scratched my turnip of Bulchish-silly, and I went for a hill with my clock to local boys bourgeois ...
.....
Didnamed the fairy tale of the boycaster / serfock.

Russian President D. Medvedev signed June 3, 2011. The law "On the calculation of time", adopted by the State Duma on May 20 and approved by the Federation Council on May 25, 2011, where the procedure for the formation of time zones, taking into account the administrative boundaries of the regions, was fixed. Powers to determine the composition of the regions included in each time zone and the procedure for calculating the time in them are established by the Government of the Russian Federation, which takes the appropriate decision based on the joint proposal of the Legislative Assembly and the governor of this or that region of the Russian Federation

Citizens of Russia on the night of March 27, 2011. Translated the arrows of hours for an hour ahead and moved to the "summer time" introduced in the USSR in 1981. From this point on, the seasonal translation of the shooter was canceled.

According to the document, Russia lives in the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the cyclical circulation of the Earth around the Sun, in which the duration of one turn around the sun is equal to 365,2425 days. It is indicated that for 400 years accounts for 97 leap years.

For free observation of the earth's surface and view snapshots from the satellite online, you can use multiple applications. Two of them are most popular in Russia: Google Maps and Yandex Maps. Both services boast of good quality pictures from the high resolution satellite of most countries.

Yandex Maps - online application from Russian developers, so in it more accurately worked out the city of Russia. It has a built-in functionality for viewing traffic load data (large settlements), demographic and geodata. In the maps from Google, no less high-quality pictures from the satellite of the territory of the Russian Federation, but the data on land and traffic is available only for the United States.

Below you can get acquainted with the built-in card from Google. For more stable work of the plugin, we recommend using Google Chrome browser. If you see an error message, refresh the specified plugin, then restart the page.

Watch Google Planet Earth from the satellite, real-time online:

Another advantage of Google Maps is the availability of a client application to work with satellite shots. This means that access to the service can be obtained not only through the browser, but also through the previously downloaded program. It has much more opportunities for viewing and studying pictures from a satellite, working with a three-dimensional virtual globe.

3D card from the satellite from Google (downloadable app, not online version) allows you to:

• use a quick search for the right objects by name or coordinates;
• do screenshots and record high quality video;
• work online (preliminary synchronization is required via the Internet);
• use the air simulator for more convenient movements between objects;
• save "favorite places" for rapid movements between them;
• browse not only the earth's surface, but also pictures of other celestial bodies (Mars, Moon, etc.).

You can work with Google satellite maps through a client or browser application. A plugin is available on the official page of the program that allows you to use an interactive map on any web resource. It is enough to build its address in the site program code. To display, you can choose both the entire surface and a certain area (you have to enter the coordinates). Control - with a computer mouse and keyboard (Ctrl + mouse wheel for scaling, cursor for moving) or using icons designated on the map ("Plus" - closer, "minus" - remove, move using a cursor).

Service Google Planet Earth in real time allows you to work with several types of cards, each of which reflects those or other data in the satellite pictures. Between them it is convenient to switch "without loss of progress" (the program remembers where you "were"). Available viewing modes:

• landscape card from a satellite (geographical objects, features of the earth's surface);
• physical map (detailed pictures of the surface from a satellite, cities, streets, their names);
• conceptual geographical map for more accurate examination of the surface shots.

A snapshot from the satellite is automatically loaded at the site of approximation, so a stable Internet connection is required to work. To work Google Planet Earth On Offline mode, you need to download the application for Windows or another operating system. For its work, the Internet also requires Internet, but only for the first launch, after which the program synchronizes all the necessary data (snapshots from the surface satellite, 3D models of buildings, the names of geographic and other objects) after which it will be possible to work with the received data without direct Internet access.

Earth, like other planets, has a shape of a ball, a little bit alone with poles. The man, being on the surface of the Earth, sees only a few square kilometers of its square. At the same time, the total area of \u200b\u200bthe surface of the Earth is 510 million square meters. km.

Globe - Model of Earth

In the form and size of the planet, the earth model was created - the globe.

Fig. 2. Globus

the globe- Three-dimensional reduced land model. Globus has the same form as the planet itself, it is the volumetric, axis of rotation, as well as the planet, is inclined.

On the globe depicted continents, islands, oceans, seas, etc. They have the same outlines as on the surface of the earth, and are located relative to each other as well. Thus, on the globe is minimal distortion of the earth's surface.

The first globe was created about 150 years before. e. The most old of the Globe of Martin Behaimima remains the oldest of the globe.

Geographic Maps

In addition to the globe and plans, the image of the earth's surface is actively using cards. On the map, in contrast to the plan, you can see the entire earth surface or its large parts. In addition, geographical maps are small scale, as the image has to be reduced to a large number of times to fit on the map.

Geographic map- An image of a terrestrial surface containing a degree mesh, in a reduced form on the plane using conventional signs.

Geographical maps are completely different. For example, the maps on which natural objects are depicted: mountains, seas, plains, mainland, are called physical; The cards on which countries are depicted, their borders, the capital - political.

Fig. 5. Political map of Eurasia

There is a special type of cards - contour cards. These cards have only the boundaries of geographic objects, their outlines, a degree network. On such maps, you must independently mark the studied geographical objects, observing accuracy, accuracy and using other geographic maps.

All my life, these two subjects go there, and they always surprise their unresoluteness. On the one hand, both are only reduced, and on the other - a whole layer in the history of development.

True, here too, it is necessary to be neat. After all, standard globes are thirty, and even eighty million times less than the real planet, so the area covered with a finger can include several islands or even countries.

So if seriously decided to find out where it is better to go, it is worth using the globe made to the Paris exhibition of 1889. He is just a little less than the globe. In some million times. There is no mistake.

Of course, it appeared much later than the cards, but managed to get my share of popularity. Being for the first time made in 1492, he managed to come in handy for navigating, and for school textbook, although recently it is used much more often as a manual.

It should be noted that the name of the globe appeared not by chance, although the one who invented him was not distinguished by a stormy fantasy. The globe with Latin is translated as a ball. Yes, just a ball is intact and understandable.

Only one question remains unresolved. If you take a globe and a map with the same and stick a map to the globe, do the mountains and rivers match? Curious? Well, then you can try. Although it is better to first ask the teacher.
