Solar Eclipse- Tuesday HW

Tonight if you live in Australia or Southeast Asia you would be able to see a total solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and the Earth and casts a shadow on Earth. During a solar eclipse the sun is not visible from Earth. 
It is completely blocked from view by the moon. 


Watch the video above to learn more about solar eclipses. Then please post about what you learned! Remember to use complete sentences and feel free to ask questions and comment on other classmates' posts.

  2. I learned that there are 3 major tipes of solar eclipse. The Umbra, Atumbra and penumbra. Umbra covers the whole sun. Atumbra covers everything but the riges. Penumbra covers most of the moon. A solar eclips occers when the moon comes inbatween the earth and the sun. The solar eclipse only happens on certain parts of earth. The moon is small so I think that a Umbra is rare.

  8. I learned that the three major types of solar eclipse's. Umbra, antumbra, and penumbra. Umbra is when you can't see the moon at all. Antumbra is when it looks like there is a ring (the sun) around the moon. Penumbra is when the area of the shadow where only a portion of the moon is in front of the sun. The longest solar eclipse was 7 and a half seconds! It really surprised me. I thought the longest time would be 5 seconds or something like that.
