    [3] [4] As with most globes, it is mounted at a 23.5 degree angle, the same axial tilt as the Earth itself; thus the equator is diagonal to the floor. It uses a cantilever mount with two motors, and simulates one day's revolution and rotation every 18 minutes, though it is possible for the motors to fully rotate the globe in as little as one ...

Unless the body is totally rigid (which the Earth is not), its stable state rotation has the largest moment of inertia axis aligned with the spin axis, with the ...
