Solar and Lunar Eclipses
What is an eclipse?
• An eclipse occurs any time something passes
in front of the Sun, blocking its light. This can
be the Earth or the Moon.
Is there more than 1 kind of eclipse?
• Yes!! There are lunar and solar eclipses.
• Lunar Eclipse- When the Earth casts a shadow
on the moon, causing the moon to go dark.
Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon
and casts a shadow on the Moon (Full Moon)
• Solar Eclipse- When the Moon casts a shadow
on the Earth, causing the sun to go dark.
The Moon comes between the Sun and Earth
and casts a shadow on part of Earth (New
Moon)
Lunar Eclipses
• The Earth moves between the Sun and the
Moon, blocking th Sun’s light, and causing the
moon to glow red.
• Umbra – The dark inner portion of the
shadow cone.
• Penumbral – the lighter outer portion of
the shadow.
Types of Lunar Eclipses
• Total Lunar Eclipse – when 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 penumbra, or partial
shadow. They are barely visible.
Total Lunar Eclipse – when 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 penumbra, or partial shadow. They are
barely visible.
Types of Solar Eclipses
• Total Solar Eclipse – can only occur if you are at the
exact spot within the moon’s umbra (which isn’t very
big).
• Partial Solar Eclipse – Visible is you are in the
penumbra of the shadow. Only some of the moon
will be shadowed.
• 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.

How often do Eclipses Happen?
• That depends!! Lunar Eclipses happen more
often than Solar Eclipses.
• Why? Well everyone who is experiencing
nighttime during a lunar eclipse can see it.
• 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!!
Why Don’t We See 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.
Eclipse Seasons
• Syzygy- The times where the Moon, the Earth,
and the Sun line up perfectly for an eclipse.
