SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSES
Define eclipse: ____________________________ Define Lunar:___________ One of these lasts about________min.’s They occur about _________ to ________ times per year. (Order of line up=__________,____________,___________) Draw, label, and explain a Lunar Eclipse below. Explain:__________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________
Define solar: ____________________________ One of these lasts about________minutes. They occur about _________ to ________ times per year. (Order of line up=__________,____________,___________) Draw, label, and explain a “Solar Eclipse” below. Explain:__________________________________________________________________________________________
Explain at the bottom
Sun E
Umbra
Total Eclipse
Partial Ecl.
Full Moon
Explain: This is where the moon passes between the sun & the earth to block the moon.
One of these lasts about 90 minutes.
They occur 2-5 times a year. The correct
order they line up is: Sun, Earth Moon.
Because the Earth & Sun are in 1 orbit
plane, & the Earth & Moon are in a
different orbit plane. See diagram
Explain at the bottom.
Sun Total Eclipse
Partial EclipsePenumbra
Umbra
Explain:This is where the moon passes between the Sun & Earth.
One of these lasts about 3-4 minutes & they occur 0-3 times a year. The correct order they line up is: Sun, Moon, Earth.
SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSES _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Practice questions: 1. Which of the following is the correct order for the sun, the moon, and the earth to line up to form a solar eclipse? a. sun, earth, moon b. moon, earth, sun c. earth, sun, moon d. earth, moon, sun 2. Which of the following is the correct order for the sun, the moon, and the earth to line up to form a lunar eclipse? a. sun, moon, earth b. moon, earth, sun c. earth, sun, moon d. earth, moon, sun 3. What is the gray shadow called?___________________ Why is it gray and not black?__________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4. What is the black shadow called?__________________ Why is it black and not gray?__________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. What phase is the moon in when it first enters the black part of the shadow during a lunar eclipse?________________ ________________ 6. What type of eclipse is it when the moon first enters the black part of the shadow during a lunar eclipse?___________ 7. Where does the moon have to be in order for there to be a “total” lunar eclipse? (Explain)_______________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Why don’t we see any solar eclipse here in Mesa when the news reports that there are to be three during the year? _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. Why is it said not to look at the sun during a solar eclipse?________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ What part of the sun do we see?________________ 10. Why can’t you see the sun during a lunar eclipse?______________________________________________________ 11. What phase is the moon in during a solar eclipse?_________ _____________
1. Which of the following is the correct order for the sun, the moon, and the earth to line up to form a solar eclipse?
Sun, moon, earth? This is not a choice, but the reverse is the same thing. Therefore the answer is D. Earth, Moon, Sun.
2. Which of the following is the correct order for the sun, the moon, and earth to line up to form a Lunar Eclipse?
Sun, Earth, Moon? Which is not a choice, but the reverse is the same thing, therefore
the answer is B. Moon, Earth, Sun.
5. What phase is the moon in when it first enters the black part
of the shadow during a lunar eclipse?
6. What type of eclipse is it when the moon first enters the
black part of the shadow during a lunar
eclipse?
8. Why don’t we see any solar eclipse here in Mesa when the news reports that there are to be 3 during the year?
8. Because the shadow is so small, it doesn’t cover the whole earth or cross Mesa, Az. each time the shadow passes over the earth.
SunE
Note that because of the orbit angle the moon is above or
below the Earth, we only see a solar eclipse 0-3 times a year.
10. Because the sun is on the front side of the earth where it is day time, & we are looking out the back side of the earth at night.
14. Because the earth & moon are in a different orbit plane than the earth and sun. They moon isn’t blocked each pass.
