Learning Activity Sheet No. 7 SCIENCE

The document discusses lunar and solar eclipses through 6 sections: 1. It explains that during a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow as the Earth lines up between the sun and moon. 2. It describes the moon first passing through the penumbra with slight darkening, then the umbra where all direct sunlight is blocked. 3. It notes eclipses only occur during a full or new moon when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned. 4. The moon appears reddish as it passes through the umbra during a lunar eclipse. 5. Eclipses occur because of the periodic alignments of the sun, Earth, and moon

Eclipse Model (PeTa 4)

ANALYSIS / GUIDE
QUESTIONS:

1. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes through the


Earth’s shadow. The Earth lines up directly between the Sun
and the Moon and it blocks the Sun's rays and casts a
shadow on the Moon.

2. During lunar eclipse, first, the moon passes through what


is called the penumbra, where the sun’s light is only partially
obscured. This results in only slight darkening of the moon.
As the moon continues along its path, it enters what’s called
Umbra, where all direct light from the sun is blocked.
3. Only during full moon and new moon is the Moon in a
line with the Earth and Sun. If the Earth is in the middle, the
Moon is “full" and fully lit by the sun. Only then, if the
alignment is perfect, we get lunar eclipses (the Earth's
shadow falling on the Moon).

4. The Moon is slightly tinted when it passes through the


light outer portion of the shadow, the penumbra, but turns
dark red as it passes through the central portion of the
shadow, called the umbra.

5. From the Earth, the Moon and the Sun appear to be


roughly the same size in the sky. So, when the Moon comes
between Earth and the Sun during a total solar eclipse, the
Moon appears to completely cover up the light from the
Sun.
V. GENERALIZATION

How do eclipses occur?

Eclipses, whether solar or lunar, occur because of


the periodic alignments of the sun, Earth, and moon.
These three bodies, orbit in space in very predictable
paths. The sun, moon and Earth are in just the right
positions about every 18 months. These times are called
eclipse seasons. At an eclipse, the moon passes between
Earth and the sun. At first, it blocks part of the sun’s rays
(this is called a partial eclipse). Then it moves across
completely in front of the sun (this is a total eclipse).
VI APPLICATION

Why is it dangerous to look directly at the Sun?

When you stare directly at the sun,


ultraviolet light floods your retina, burning the
exposed tissue. You can experience short-term
damage such as sunburn of the cornea—known as
solar keratitis. Sun gazing is the dangerous
practice of looking directly into the Sun. The
human eye is very sensitive, and exposure to direct
sunlight can lead to solar retinopathy, pterygium,
cataracts, and often blindness.
