Does the globe actually turn or rotate as anticipated?

The globe does not rotate automatically (I try to imagine how this feature could be helpful, but think it would be a hindrance to globe usage); you can, however, make it rotate manually. One less thing to go wrong, eh?

The globe does turn on and makes a very soft glow that is great for kids as a night light FYI. The globe can spin but not on its own power. You can spin it but it is not motorized to spin. Hope that helps. (My son loves this thing.)

It will rotate a great deal, but maybe not completely turned the opposite way (180 degrees).

It does rotate completely around, one of the reasons I bought it in the first place.

Not that I seen anywhere on it, but you can change direction of rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise.

It does not rotate. I wish that it did as well. Hope this helps you with you decision.

If you mean does it pivot left to right, yes it does. As far a rotating, I'm not sure what you are asking. It doesn't rotate to an inverted position if that is what you are asking.

Yes it rotates 360 degrees going left to right or right to left turn. I use mine a lot.

The globe turns on the earth's axis and it can be rotated about another axis which has one pole at about 40 degrees latitude. This makes the globe useful, since you can tilt it to look more easily at the southern hemisphere while you spin it on its polar axis. The base is made of iron, since a magnet will cling to it.

It appears to have minimal friction to no friction. Good globe. Relief feature is good as well.

Yes, it is a great globe and the magnetism makes it spin all the time. I leave it on a lot. It is very durable and should last a long time.

Yes. The stand has a center pivot point that lets it turn 360 degrees - all the way around. You adjust the knob on that pivot point to keep it stationary, or let it turn.

yes, it rotates without having to loosen the fitting. I hold the fitting when I turn it just to make sure it does not loosen by accident.

If you mean rotate clockwise or counter clockwise, no. But it does swing from side to side with a great range of motion.

Of course it depends on frequency and velocity of rotation. Consistent reverse rotation is best, I have noticed that after just a short time of non-rotation the effects are nullified. Good luck.

We do not have such problem and it can rotate actually. My neighbour also got one for her son and it works well.

Yes it does. It rotates 180 degrees from horizontal to horizontal and anywhere in between.

Our globe pivots on the rack like affair that holds the globe so that you can view the north & south pole by pivoting the globe, as well as spinning the globe. Hope that helps.
