    Eclipse

    An eclipse occurs due to the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon. There are two types of eclipses - solar and lunar. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, casting its shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the moon. There are three types of each eclipse - total, partial, and annular/penumbral, depending on how much of the sun or moon is obscured.

    Eclipse

    As Earth revolves around the sun, the


    moon also revolves around Earth.
    Eclipse
     An eclipse occurs because of the relative
    motion and position of Earth, the sun, and
    the moon.
    2 Types of Eclipse:

    Solar Eclipse Lunar Eclipse

    Lunar eclipse happens when


    Solar eclipse happens when the the Earth comes between the
    Moon comes between the Sun Sun and the Moon.
    and Earth.
    The Earth blocks the sun’s rays
    The moon blocks the sun’s rays and casts a shadow on the
    casts a shadow on part of Earth. Moon causing the moon to go
    dark.
    Two parts of the shadow:
    • Umbra – The dark inner portion of the shadow cone.
    • Penumbral – the lighter outer portion of the shadow.
    Solar Eclipse
    Solar eclipse happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth.

    The moon blocks the sun’s rays casts a shadow on part of Earth.

    3 TYPES OF SOLAR ECLIPSE:


    • TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
    • PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
    • ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE
    Types of Solar Eclipses
    • Total Solar Eclipse – happens when the moon exactly
    covers the sun’s photosphere (the sun’s visible
    surface).
    • Regions of Earth where the umbra falls experience
    Total Solar Eclipse.
    • Partial Solar Eclipse – Regions of Earth where the
    penumbra falls experience Partial Solar Eclipse.

    • When viewed on Earth, only portion of the sun is


    blocked by the moon.
    Annular Eclipse – occurs when the moon is farthest
    from the Earth. The umbra may not reach the Earth’s
    surface at all.

    This makes the moon look smaller, so during the


    eclipse you see an outer ring of light from the Sun.
    Lunar Eclipse
    Lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon.

    The Earth blocks the sun’s rays and casts a shadow on the Moon causing the
    moon to go dark.

    3 TYPES OF LUNAR ECLIPSE:


    • TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
    • PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
    • PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
    Types of Lunar Eclipses
    • Total Lunar Eclipse – The sun, Earth and moon
    are nearly perfectly aligned. The Moon passes
    completely into the Umbra, or total shadow of
    the Earth.
    Partial Lunar Eclipse – Occur when the Moon does not
    fully move into the Umbra.
    Penumbral Lunar Eclipse – When the moon passes
    only through the ra, or partial shadow. They are barely
    visible. penumb
    Eclipse Seasons
    • Syzygy- The times where the Moon, the Earth,
    and the Sun line up perfectly for an eclipse.
