With the model in this orientation, and the horizon pointer placed
from Earth to the Sun, allow the viewer to look from east along the
model ‘horizon’. They can easily see that the real Sun and the model
‘Sun’ are disappearing below the horizon. Put some action into the
observation and keeping the ‘horizon’ at a tangent to the “Earth’,
rotate the ‘horizon’ clockwise from a little below the ‘Sun’ until the
‘Sun’ disappears below the ‘horizon’. This observation mimics a
sunset.
