Solar and Lunar
Eclipses
By: Annette Miles
An eclipse is the casting of a _______ of one celestial body on the surface
of another. The Earth’s shadow creates a _____ eclipse; the Moon’s
shadow creates a _____ eclipse.
shadow
lunarsolar
A solar eclipse happens when the _____ blocks our view of the sun. This happens when the Moon is exactly
between the Sun and the Earth during the _________ phase.
Moon
new moon
The shadows cast during an eclipse have two parts: The penumbra and the umbra. The ________ is the faint _____ shadow. A _______ eclipse is visible from within this shadow.
penumbra outerpartial
The second part of the shadow is the ______. The umbra is the
dark _____ shadow. A _____ eclipse is visible from within the
umbral shadow.
umbra innertotal
How to draw a solar eclipse:1) On a piece of paper, draw a Sun on the far left, an Earth on the far right, and a moon close to the Earth. All bodies need to be drawn in a straight line.
How to draw a solar eclipse:2) Find a point at the top of the Sun and the top of the Moon. Using a ruler, draw a line to connect the points and continue line to the Earth.
How to draw a solar eclipse:3) Now from the same point on the Sun, find the point at the center of the bottom of the moon and draw a line.
How to draw a solar eclipse:4) Find the point at the center of the bottom of the Sun and draw the same two lines.
How to draw a solar eclipse:5) Shade in the umbra, this one is shaded gray. Under this part of the shadow you would experience a total eclipse.
How to draw a solar eclipse:6) Shade in the penumbra, this one is shaded pink. Under this part of the shadow you would experience a partial eclipse.
A total solar eclipse is very brief. It lasts only ______________. It is, however, one
of the most awe inspiring events in all of nature. The sky becomes _____ and the temperature may _____ several degrees.
a few minutes
dark drop
A dark disk replaces the Sun, but surrounding the Moon is a beautiful
halo of light. This is the Sun’s ______.corona
Viewing a solar eclipse with the naked eye is very _________. The intense
visible light from the Sun can cause damage to the retinas of your eyes. Only view a solar eclipse with proper
eye protection.
dangerous
The next graphic shows the path for different solar eclipses through 2025.
Notice there are two solar eclipses that cross the
United States (2017 and 2024).
A special feature during a total solar eclipse is called ____________. These
are bead-like bursts of light that appear about _________ before and after totality during a solar eclipse.
Baily's beads15 seconds
Baily's beads are caused by sunlight shining through valleys on the edge of the _____. They
roughly resemble a string of beads.
Moon
Another interesting
feature during a solar eclipse
is called a ____________. This is a large burst of light that appears
a few seconds before and
after totality.
“Diamond Ring”
Solar eclipses give scientists
a unique opportunity to view features of our Sun. During an eclipse the Sun’s ______ and Sun’s
__________ can be observed and studied.
corona
prominences
Here a solar prominence is visible during a total solar eclipse. The
prominence appears as a ___ cloud and consists of ionized ____ that is projecting above the surface of the
sun.
red gas
The moon’s orbit around the Earth is an _______ shape. If the eclipse
happens during the moon’s apogee, its ______ distance from the Earth, the moon’s shadow is a bit smaller and the result is an _______ eclipse.
ellipticalfarthest
annular
During an annular eclipse, an outer ring of the Sun will be ______ around
the moon. The moon does not completely block out the sun.
visible
This illustration shows an ________ shadow produced during this type of eclipse .
antumbra
The second type of eclipse is a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the _____ passes through the shadow of the ______. This happens during a
____ moon. A total lunar eclipse is only evident when the Moon is
passing through the Earth’s umbral shadow.
MoonEarth
full
During the total eclipse, the Moon is still _____. The Moon will actually become a variety of colors from
deep black to rich shades of red. The red coloring comes from light from the sun that is _______ as it passes
through the Earth’s __________ and is
bent toward the moon.
That light reflects off the
surface of the
Moon and into our eyes on
Earth.
visible
filteredatmosphere
The red or copper color will only be seen as the shadow of the Earth
_________ covers the Moon. See the progression of a total lunar eclipse.
completely
Unlike solar eclipses which last only a few minutes, a total lunar eclipse
lasts over _______. The shadow from the Earth is _____ than the shadow that the Moon casts on the Earth
during a solar eclipse.
an hour larger
A _______ lunar
eclipse occurs
when only part of
the Moon passes through
the umbra, or
the darkest part of Earth’s shadow.
partial
How to draw a lunar eclipse:1) On a piece of paper, draw a Sun on the far left, the Moon on the far right, and the Earth between the two. All bodies need to be drawn in a straight line.
How to draw a lunar eclipse:2) Find a point at the top of the Sun and the top of the Earth. Using a ruler, draw a line to connect the points and continue line to the Moon.
How to draw a lunar eclipse:3. Now from the same point on the Sun, find the point at the center of the bottom of the Earth and draw a line.
How to draw a lunar eclipse:4) Find the point at the center of the bottom of the Sun and draw the same two lines.
How to draw a lunar eclipse:5) Shade in the umbra, this one is shaded gray. Under this part of the shadow you would experience a total eclipse.
How to draw a lunar eclipse:6) Shade in the penumbra, this one is shaded pink.
