The phases of the moon are caused by the changing angle between the Earth, moon and sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by the sun, appearing as crescent, gibbous, quarter or full phases. Eclipses occur when one celestial body blocks the light of another, causing its shadow to fall on the moon or Earth. There are two types of eclipses - lunar, where the Earth casts its shadow on the moon, and solar, where the moon passes between the Earth and sun.

Eclipses
The document discusses solar and lunar eclipses. It provides an animation of a total solar eclipse and warns that it is unsafe to look directly at one. It explains that a solar eclipse only occurs in the small area that falls within the moon's shadow on Earth. The document also contains a diagram of a lunar eclipse showing the moon passing through the Earth's shadow, which is safe to view directly and sometimes causes the moon to appear red during totality. It notes the difference between observing a total or partial eclipse depending on whether one is located in the umbra or penumbra of the shadow. Finally, it presents an animation of a total lunar eclipse from beginning to end.

Eclipses - Solar and Lunar Eclipses
The document discusses lunar and solar eclipses. It explains that lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the sun and moon, casting its shadow on the moon. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the Earth and sun, casting its shadow on parts of Earth. Eclipses only occur when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned on the same plane. The document provides details on the conditions required to see each type of eclipse and diagrams demonstrating the geometry of lunar and solar eclipses.
Solar and lunar eclipses
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body blocks the light of another from an observer's perspective on Earth. There are two main types - solar eclipses where the moon passes in front of the sun, and lunar eclipses where the moon passes through the Earth's shadow. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow falls on parts of Earth and the sun appears darkened; there are three types depending on how much of the sun is covered. A lunar eclipse is visible over a larger area as the moon passes through the Earth's shadow and takes on a reddish hue. Eclipses can last up to seven minutes and a total solar eclipse occurs about every 1.5 years.
Solar And Lunar
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes between a source of light and another, blocking the light. There are two types of eclipses: solar eclipses, where the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses, where the earth passes between the moon and sun. The moon's shadow during a solar eclipse has two parts - the penumbra, where a partial eclipse can be seen, and the umbra, where a total eclipse occurs.
Shadows and Solar-Lunar Eclipses
This document discusses shadows, solar eclipses, and lunar eclipses. There are four types of solar eclipses: total, annular, hybrid, and partial. During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely obscures the sun, allowing the solar corona to be seen. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon is not large enough to completely cover the sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible. A hybrid eclipse shifts between total and annular. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon only partially obscures the sun. There are also three types of lunar eclipses: total, partial, and penumbral.
Measure the earth's radius
1. Using only a stopwatch, meter stick, and a sunset or sunrise, it is possible to measure the Earth's radius.
2. The method involves timing how long it takes the sun to set from two different heights - lying down and standing up. The difference in time can be used to calculate the angle of Earth's rotation, from which the radius can be derived.
3. Basic trigonometry relates the measured time difference, height difference of the observations, and Earth's radius to form a right triangle, allowing the radius to be solved for. Accuracy is typically within 15% for typical classes.
Eclipse
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes between the sun and another, blocking sunlight or moonlight. There are two main types of eclipses - lunar eclipses, where the moon passes into Earth's shadow, and solar eclipses, where the moon passes between Earth and the sun. During a lunar eclipse, the moon turns red as it is illuminated only by sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere. A solar eclipse can be partial or total, where the moon completely blocks the sun's light over a small area. Total solar eclipses are rare as the moon's shadow is small and its orbit is tilted relative to Earth's.
Moon Phases Stations Lab
The document describes the phases of the moon and lunar calendar. It explains that the moon revolves around Earth once every 29.5 days, going through phases from new moon to full moon and back again. During a new moon, the dark side faces Earth so we cannot see the illuminated portion. As the moon orbits, we see less than half illuminated as a crescent moon, then exactly half illuminated at the quarter moon phase.
Sun Eclips
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, casting its shadow on a small area of the earth. The moon's shadow allows certain regions on earth to experience a total solar eclipse by blocking the sun's light, while other areas see only a partial eclipse or no eclipse at all.
Solar and Lunar eclipse
This document discusses eclipses, including lunar and solar eclipses. It explains that eclipses occur when the sun, earth, and moon are aligned so that one celestial body casts a shadow on the other. A lunar eclipse can only happen during a full moon, while a solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon. The document outlines the different types of solar eclipses and provides safety precautions for viewing a solar eclipse directly.
The Great American Solar Eclipse
The document provides information about the upcoming August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse, including key times and locations to view it, safety tips for viewing, and what phenomena can be observed. The eclipse will be visible across the United States, with the path of totality stretching from Oregon to South Carolina. Key events along the path include first contact at 1:06 PM, totality beginning at 2:35 PM lasting 2 minutes 13 seconds, and fourth contact at 4:00 PM from Brasstown Bald in Georgia. Proper solar filters are required to safely observe the partial phases, while the corona can only be viewed without filters during the brief period of totality.
Solar and lunar eclipses
A "lunar eclipse" and a "solar eclipse" refer to events involving three celestial bodies: the Sun ("solar"), the moon ("lunar"), and the Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun.
Aug 21, 2017 solar eclipse
The document discusses different types of solar eclipses: partial solar eclipses where only part of the sun is blocked by the moon; annular eclipses where the moon appears smaller allowing light to shine around the edges; and total lunar eclipses where the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. It provides information on the next solar eclipse over the US in 2024 and resources from NASA on visualizing and tracing the 2017 eclipse path. Safety tips are outlined for viewing a solar eclipse, including eye protection, layers of clothing, food, water, and first aid supplies.
Solar and lunar eclipse
An eclipse occurs when one astronomical object passes in front of another, temporarily obscuring it from view. There are two types of eclipses - solar eclipses, which occur when the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses, which occur when the earth passes between the sun and moon. The document provides instructions for safely viewing an eclipse using a pinhole projector or solar filter to project the sun's image without looking directly at it.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow. There are three types of lunar eclipses - total, partial, and penumbral - depending on how much of the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra or penumbra. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon takes on a red color due to refraction of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on parts of Earth. There are also three types of solar eclipses - total, partial, and annular - depending on the Moon's position and alignment with the Earth and Sun.
Solar and lunar_eclipses
There are two types of eclipses: lunar eclipses, which occur when the moon passes into Earth's shadow, and solar eclipses, which occur when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. Lunar eclipses can be total, partial, or penumbral depending on how far into Earth's shadow the moon passes. Solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular depending on the moon's position in its orbit. Eclipses do not occur every month because the moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the sun, so the three objects do not align perfectly except during eclipse seasons.
Phases and eclipses
The moon does not produce its own light, but reflects sunlight. The boundary between the lit and unlit sides of the moon is called the terminator, and it moves from right to left across the moon. The phases of the moon are caused by the changing angle between the earth, moon, and sun. Waxing means the lit portion is increasing, while waning means it is decreasing. Phases include the crescent, gibbous, first quarter, and last quarter. Lunar eclipses occur when the earth passes between the sun and moon, while solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between the earth and sun.

Eclipses only occur when the moon's orbit aligns it directly behind or in front of Earth relative to the sun. The simulation allows viewing eclipses from different angles to understand how they occur.
Eclipses And Tides
The document discusses different types of eclipses including solar and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and sun, blocking the sun from view. A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and moon, casting the moon in earth's shadow. The document provides details on the different types of solar and lunar eclipses as well as explanations for why eclipses do not occur every month and why the moon appears red during a lunar eclipse.

Sp11 -notes--moon and eclipses
1) The Earth, Sun and Moon exist in a complex system of orbits where the Moon revolves around the Earth and the Earth revolves around the Sun.
2) As the Moon orbits the Earth, the illuminated portion that we see from Earth changes in a cycle called phases, ranging from new moon to full moon and back over about two weeks.
3) Lunar and solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, casting its shadow on either the Moon or Earth, and can be total or partial depending on the alignment of the three bodies.

The document discusses solar and lunar eclipses. It explains that a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting its shadow on parts of Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the sun and moon, casting its shadow on the moon. There are three types of solar eclipses: partial, annular, and total, depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. During a solar or lunar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth or Earth's shadow on the moon can include the umbra, antumbra, or penumbra regions.
Eclipses
Eclipses occur when one astronomical body passes into the shadow of another. The two most common types of eclipses are solar eclipses, where the moon passes between the earth and sun, blocking the sun's light, and lunar eclipses, where the earth passes between the sun and moon, casting the moon into its own shadow. Both cause the eclipsed body to briefly disappear by blocking its light source.
Solar Eclipse
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking all or part of the sun's light. There are four types of solar eclipses - total, partial, annular, and hybrid. A total solar eclipse can only be seen from within the moon's umbral shadow, while a partial solar eclipse can be seen within the penumbral shadow. The moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's, so solar eclipses do not occur every month. The most recent solar eclipse was an annular eclipse visible from parts of Asia and Africa on June 21, 2020.

Wonders Of The Sky 2009 Eclipses
There are two types of eclipses: solar eclipses which occur when the moon passes between the earth and sun, and lunar eclipses which occur when the earth passes between the sun and moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon can block all, some, or none of the sun, resulting in total, partial, or annular eclipses. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun, briefly turning day to night, while partial eclipses only block part of the sun. Lunar eclipses occur during a full moon when the earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, causing it to take on a red color from the sunlight bending through the earth's atmosphere.

Craig Bobchin, of Astronomy4You, prepared this presentation for Texas Public Radio's Think Science event on April 8, 2024.
How eclipses work
The document explains how solar and lunar eclipses occur through the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, casting its shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. The papercraft model demonstrates how their orbits cause these alignments by showing the Moon's orbit around Earth and Earth's orbit around the Sun. Turning the model's disks simulates their motions and shows when shadows fall to recreate solar and lunar eclipses.

Geologic Similes
The document discusses four geologic principles - uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism - and compares each principle to the layers of a cake. Uniformitarianism is like a cake in that the ingredients and process of making a cake are always the same. Superposition is like a cake as the bottom layer was placed first and each subsequent layer above it is younger. Original horizontality is like cake layers in that they should be placed horizontally. Catastrophism is like a dropped cake that is suddenly ruined. The document provides additional examples comparing the principles to other everyday items like clothes piles and bicycles.
Exploration
Ancient societies like the Egyptians, Mayans, and builders of Stonehenge began exploring the night sky to develop calendars and track seasonal changes. Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy developed early geocentric models of the solar system, though their ideas were inaccurate. Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important contributions to establishing the heliocentric model through observations, mathematics, and physics theories like gravity. Continued exploration has led to discoveries of new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.
What time is it?
The document discusses the Earth's rotation and revolution and how it influences time measurements. It takes the Earth approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. The days of the week are named after objects visible in the sky, with Sunday through Friday named after the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Months are based on the moon's cycle around Earth, taking approximately 28 days, while years represent the time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, which takes 365.2422 days.
Geologic Principle Similes
The document discusses geological principles for understanding the Earth's history using the analogy of a layer cake. It explains four key principles:
1) Uniformitarianism - geological processes occurred the same way in the past as today, like how cakes are made the same way each time.
2) Superposition - the oldest sedimentary layers are on the bottom, like how cake layers are placed with the bottom being oldest.
3) Original Horizontality - sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers, similar to cake layers being placed horizontally.
4) Catastrophism - geological change can occur suddenly, akin to a dropped cake being ruined suddenly.
Dance of the planets
The document describes the fundamental force of gravity. It explains that gravity is a weak but predictable force that helped form the universe and has a constant presence, distorting space and time and acting on all matter through mass. Gravity keeps objects like ourselves on Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun according to laws proposed by Newton and Einstein describing gravity's proportional relationship to mass and dependence on net force and inertia.
Why do we measure time the way that we do
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis over 24 hours. Weeks consist of 7 days which are associated with the sun and visible objects in the night sky. Months are based on the moon's approximately 29.5 day revolution around Earth, though months contain 30-31 days. Years measure the 365.2422 days it takes Earth to orbit the sun, requiring a leap year every four years, except for centennial years which must be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.
Cloud Challenge: Alto Clouds
This document discusses two types of middle-level clouds known as alto clouds: altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are gray and blue clouds that often cover the sky and are associated with areas of storms and continuous precipitation, composed of ice and water droplets. Altocumulus clouds appear as gray, puffy masses that form in parallel waves or bands, usually occurring on warm, humid summer mornings and often indicating upcoming thunderstorms. Pictures and websites with additional information about alto clouds are also provided.
