Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 278.5 Hz, 92 cents flat of D4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and our home, the only world known to have life. Oceans cover about 71 percent of its surface, and it turns once on its axis about every 24 hours, which gives us day and night.

Tap it to turn it through one day, with the Sun off to the left. Night falls over one half, the globe turns once, and city lights come on as the land turns into the dark, then go out again at dawn.
