LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET IN SCIENCE 7

Worksheet No. 6, Quarter 4

Learner’s Name: __________________________________________________


Grade Level/Section: ___________________________ Date: ________

L I. LEARNING SKILL

A. Most Essential Learning Competency


➢ Explain how solar and lunar eclipses occur (S7ES –IV-11)

B. Objective
➢ Illustrate the position of the Sun, Moon and Earth during Solar and Lunar
Eclipse
➢ Explain how and when does Solar and Lunar Eclipse occur

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

We all know that the Sun gives off light. As the different members of the solar
system move around the Sun, they block the light from the Sun and form shadows.
This means that planets have shadows, and even their moons have shadows, too.
But we cannot see the shadows that they form because we are far from them. The
only shadows that we can observe are the shadows of the Moon and Earth. When
shadows are formed on astronomical objects, a darkening effect is observed. This
phenomenon is called an ECLIPSE. In this lesson, you will know the two kinds of
Eclipse and how they are form. Please read and enjoy the lesson!

Abstraction

SOLAR ECLIPSE

➢ An eclipse happens when the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are aligned, and one
celestial body covers another or one celestial body casts a shadow on another.
➢ Solar eclipse happens due to the rotation of the Earth around its axis and its
revolution around the Sun.
➢ The solar eclipse happens when the light from the Sun is blocked by the Moon. It
happens when the Moon is in the middle of the Earth and the Sun as a result of
their alignment.
➢ They do not happen every month because the Earth's orbit around the sun is not in
the same plane as the Moon's orbit around the Earth.

Types of Solar Eclipse

➢ In partial solar eclipse, the light from the Sun is partially blocked by the Moon. The
Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are not perfectly aligned on a straight line.

3
➢ In annular solar eclipse, the light from the Sun is seen on Earth as a “ring of light”. It
only happens during a new moon and when the Moon is too far from the Earth to
completely block the light from the Sun.
➢ This happen when the moon is at apogee, a ring of light called (ANTUMBRA)
surrounded the umbra

➢ In total solar eclipse, the light from the Sun is completely blocked by the Moon. It
happens when the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are perfectly aligned forming a
straight line.

LUNAR ECLIPSE
➢ During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the
sunlight towards the Moon.

4
➢ It happens during full moon but it does not happen every full moon because of the
tilting of the moon’s orbit

Types of Lunar Eclipse

➢ A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth.
➢ Total eclipse of the moon happen when the moon crosses the umbra of the earth’s
shadow. The moon frequently passes the earth’s penumbra, but the shadow cast by
the earth on the moon’s surface is hardly visible.
➢ A partial lunar eclipse happens when only part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon.
➢ A penumbral eclipse happens when only the outer part of the Earth’s shadow
covers the moon, so the result is very subtle compared to the total or partial lunar
eclipses.

1. In which of the following is solar eclipse most likely to occur?

A. When the Sun is in between the Moon and the Earth.


B. When the Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon.
C. When the Moon is in between the Sun and the Earth.
D. When the Moon and the Earth are right angles to each other.
2. In which type of solar eclipse does a “ring of light” form?
A. Total solar Eclipse
B. Partial solar eclipse
C. Annular solar eclipse
D. None of the above
3. Which of the following statements is TRUE about partial solar eclipse?
A. The moon does not completely block the light from the Sun.
B. The Earth, the Moon, and the Sun re aligned forming a straight line
C. The partial solar eclipse happens during New Moon.
D. During partial solar eclipse, the Sun is seen as “ring of fire”.
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true about solar eclipse?
A. Solar eclipse happens when Moon casts a shadow on Earth
B. Solar eclipse happens when the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth are aligned in a
straight line
C. Solar eclipse happens during new moon
D. Solar eclipse happens when Sun is at the middle of Earth and the Moon.
5. This will happen when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun.
A. Solar eclipse
B. Annular eclipse
C. Hybrid eclipse
D. Lunar eclipse
6. The moon is in what phase during a lunar eclipse?
A. Full moon
B. New moon
C. Quarter moon
D. Half moon
7. This is when the Moon passes through the Earth’s Penumbra making the Moon look
black.
A. Partial lunar eclipse
B. Total lunar eclipse
C. Solar eclipse
D. Penumbral lunar eclipse
8. Every month there are full moon and new moon but why does eclipse rarely occurs?
A. Earth’s alignment with the Sun each month alters its alignment with the Moon.
B. The Moon’s tilt has the shadow pass either too soon or too late to be seen on Earth
C. The Earth’s season alter the atmosphere which prevents or diminishes eclipses
D. The gravitational pull between the Earth and Moon changes as the Moon gets
closer and as it moves further away which eliminates the chances of an eclipse from
happening.
