Lunar and Solar Eclipse Explained: A Beginner’s Guide to Eclipses
Ғылым және технология
Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial phenomena that occur when the sun, moon and Earth align in a way that either the moon casts a shadow on Earth or the latter casts a shadow on the moon. So what are the similarities and differences between lunar and solar eclipse?
Just as Earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit every year, our natural satellite-the moon-also revolves around the Earth. It takes about 27.322 days for the moon to complete one revolution around our planet. Due to all the inter-related motion happening between these three celestial bodies, several physical phenomena occur. When the new moon, during its revolution around the Earth, moves between the sun and the Earth, it blocks out the sun’s rays, which casts a shadow on parts of the planet. This is called an eclipse of the sun or a solar eclipse. In other words, a solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in a direct line between the sun and the Earth.
Since the moon continuously revolves around the Earth, it’s only natural that it sometimes comes between the sun and the Earth, while at other times it goes BEHIND the Earth, so that the Earth comes between the moon and the sun. When the latter happens, we see a lunar eclipse.
Watch this video to learn everything you need to know about solar and lunar eclipses.

THANK YOU VEEY MUCH FOR THIS EXPLANATION !!!! I remember this in the summer of 1991. I became partly dark in the middle of the day
This is the first video I clicked to understand the concept of solar and lunar eclipse. It saved my time as now I don't have to look for further videos on this. Very lucidly explained and the animation is also great. 👍

We had the pleasure of witnessing totality during the Great American eclipse. It was surreal and I'll never forget that experience.
And that right there folks, totally destroys any notion of a flat earth..

It’s 100% more than okay to feed your curiosity and learn about anything you want~ even if it’s not taught in your grade level. You are a young scientist, a seeker of knowledge😊 Go get it! ✌🏼👍🏼🌟
Thank you very much it helped a lot!
I watched a solar eclipse with my naked eyes. And now I have the Byukugan. ⚪️👃 ⚪️
Shared wit my Grandson- well done🙏🏼
Excellent!! In one video you have tackled at least three things: 1) Solar & lunar eclipse including light refraction. 2) What old civilisations thought it was and how due to science we now know better. 3) Even thousands of years ago this was one of the signs philosophers used to know the earth is spherical.
Thank you! I really need to Watch this For reviewing

Oh how great to check this material. So convenient that the sun is exactly at the required distance to match on perspective the size of the moon. What are the odds for that. How nice right? I wonder if you can also bring an explanation when a solar eclipse and a moon eclipse happen at the same time as has been recorded many times. that would be awesome. Thanks for your effort!

then why do we see a half moon during the day when moon and sun in same part of sky
@alexfarias5156

Because earth is not round and were not rotating around the sun. This is all a lie, the sun and the moon are the same size and they are much smaller than earth.
Great video, also the animation was awesome 👌🏻

Where did you get this strange idea from that the moon shouldn't be able to be seen during the daytime. You're not one of these ignorant fools that actually thinks that the moon only 'comes out' at night? LOL.
Jimmy Kimmel's what is an eclipse brought me here, now I know.
How many planets in this the universe?
