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
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.
➢ 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
➢ 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.
