# Solar and Lunar Eclipses ## **Solar Eclipse** A solar eclipse occurs when the **Moon passes between the Sun and Earth**, casting a shadow on Earth's surface. The Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching certain areas on Earth. - **Total solar eclipse**: Moon completely covers the Sun - **Partial solar eclipse**: Moon partially covers the Sun - **Annular solar eclipse**: Moon covers the Sun's center, leaving a "ring of fire" ## **Lunar Eclipse** A lunar eclipse occurs when **Earth passes between the Sun and Moon**, casting Earth's shadow on the Moon. The Moon moves through Earth's shadow. - **Total lunar eclipse**: Moon completely enters Earth's umbra (dark shadow) - **Partial lunar eclipse**: Only part of the Moon enters the umbra - **Penumbral lunar eclipse**: Moon passes through Earth's penumbra (lighter shadow) --- ## **Worked Example: Total Lunar Eclipse** **Question**: During a total lunar eclipse on January 20, 2019, the Moon entered Earth's umbra at 10:34 PM EST and exited at 1:51 AM EST. How long did the Moon spend in Earth's umbra? **Solution**: - Entry time: 10:34 PM (22:34) - Exit time: 1:51 AM (01:51 next day) Time calculation: - From 10:34 PM to midnight: 1 hour 26 minutes - From midnight to 1:51 AM: 1 hour 51 minutes - **Total duration = 1h 26m + 1h 51m = 3 hours 17 minutes** The Moon spent **3 hours and 17 minutes** in Earth's umbra.
