Eclipses
1) Eclipses occur when one celestial body blocks the light from another. Lunar eclipses happen during a full moon when the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. Solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the moon passes between the Earth and sun. 2) There are three types of lunar eclipses - total, partial, and penumbral - and three types of solar eclipses - total, partial, and annular. 3) Eclipses do not occur every month because the moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. Lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses.

- 3. ECLIPSE • It occurswhen the source of light is blocked • when the sun, Earth and moon are in one straight line.
- 4. Lunar Eclipses • Itoccurs when the moon passes through Earth’s shadow. (Full Moon)
- 5. • Umbra –The dark inner portion of the shadow cone. • Penumbral – the lighter outer portion of the shadow.
- 6. Types of LunarEclipses 1. Total Lunar Eclipse 2. Partial Lunar Eclipse 3. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- 7. Total Lunar Eclipse– when the Moon passes completely into the Umbra, or total shadow of the Earth.
- 8. Partial Lunar Eclipse– Occur when the Moon does not fully move into the Umbra
- 9. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse– When the moon passes only through the penumbra, or partial shadow. They are barely visible.
- 10. Solar Eclipses • Itoccurs when the moon is directly between Earth and Sun. (New Moon)
- 11. Types of Solar Eclipses 1.Total Solar Eclipse 2. Partial Solar Eclipse 3. Annular Eclipse
- 12. Total Solar Eclipse– can only occur if you are at the exact spot within the moon’s umbra (which isn’t very big).
- 13. Partial Solar Eclipse– Visible if you are in the penumbra of the shadow. Only some of the moon will be shadowed.
- 14. Annular Eclipse –occurs when the moon is farthest from the Earth in its orbit. This makes the moon look smaller, so during the eclipse you see an outer ring of light from the Sun.

- 16. How often doEclipses Happen? • That depends. Lunar Eclipses happen more often than Solar Eclipses. • Everyone who is experiencing nighttime during a lunar eclipse can see it.
- 17. How often doEclipses Happen? • But you have to be at the exact spot on Earth to see a Solar Eclipse. • The spot on Earth is so small, that the same place only sees a Solar Eclipse every 350 years*.
- 18. Why Don’t WeSee Lunar Eclipses More Often? • Well, lunar eclipses don’t happen everyday because the Moon’s orbit is tilted. So, during most months, the Moon is above or below the Earth.
