Marble is a Virtual Globe and World Atlas that you can use to learn
|
||
|
|
more about Earth: You can pan and zoom around and you can look up
|
||
|
|
places and roads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Marble offers different thematic maps: A classroom-style topographic
|
||
|
|
map, a satellite view, street map, earth at night and temperature
|
||
|
|
and precipitation maps. All maps include a custom map key, so it
|
||
|
|
can also be used as an educational tool for use in class-rooms. For
|
||
|
|
educational purposes you can also change date and time and watch
|
||
|
|
how the starry sky and the twilight zone on the map change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In opposite to other virtual globes Marble also features multiple
|
||
|
|
projections: Choose between a Flat Map ("Plate carr"), Mercator or
|
||
|
|
the Globe.
