Tools
Explore places with maps and data.
Use these free tools to investigate a question about a place. Compare observations, adjust a calculation or add a map layer to see what changes.
Earth-motion calculator
Choose a place and date to calculate daylight and the Sun’s height. Compare two locations on a 3D Earth, or change its tilt to investigate the seasons.
Live weather
Compare current modelled weather in two places, then follow both forecasts along the same 72-hour timeline. Investigate differences in temperature, rain, wind and cloud cover.
World map studio
Explore relief, rivers and plate boundaries on an interactive map. Add teaching layers, compare two views or measure distances between places.
Atlas
Explore real landscapes and their climate and tectonic settings. Compare places side by side, then follow the evidence into a related 3D lab.
