Watch the video for answers Lunar Eclipse Solar Eclipse Why don’t we have eclipses every month?

Watch the video for answers Lunar Eclipse – the moon passes through the earth’s shadow Solar Eclipse – the moon passes between the sun and the earth Why don’t we have eclipses every month? –The moon’s orbit is tilted compared to the orbit of the earth.

Explain how a lunar eclipse occurs. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align as the Moon moves into Earth's shadow. (full moon phase)

Why does the moon turn red? When the sunlight goes through the atmosphere, the atmosphere acts like a prism. The light splits into the rainbow of colors. The red light bends in and colors the moon.

How a lunar eclipse works

Explain how a solar eclipse occurs. A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align as Earth moves into the Moon's shadow. (new moon phase)

How a solar eclipse works

The moon is 400 times smaller than the sun. How is it able to cover up the sun during an eclipse? Why does a solar eclipse last for only a few minutes in any one location?

The moon is 400 times smaller than the sun. How is it able to cover up the sun during an eclipse? The moon is much closer than the sun, so it appears the same size during the eclipse.

Why does a solar eclipse last for only a few minutes in any one location? Because Earth rotates, it will take only a few minutes to move out of the Moon's shadow.

What phase of the moon must it be to have a lunar eclipse? Full Moon

What phase of the moon must it be to have a solar eclipse? New Moon
