In this episode, we'll be talking about eclipses. The reason I got the idea for this episode was because of the great North American solar eclipse, which some of you living in the US and Mexico might have seen. It was on Monday, April 8th, about a month ago. Even if you didn't see an eclipse, you can still learn about eclipses. If you don't know what an eclipse is, we'll learn today. An eclipse is when a star's light is blocked from an object because of an another object. In a solar eclipse, like the one on April 8th, the moon slowly looks like it bites the sun until it totally covers the sun. When it covers the sun, it's called totality. The path of totality is“like an imaginary line on a map in which you can see the total solar eclipse. If you're outside the line, but still close to the shadow, you can see the partial solar eclipse, like I did. That's when the moon bites the sun, but not fully. So only a small portion of the sun is hidden. During a solar eclipse, the sky turns dark, even when it's the middle of the day. This is because the moon casts a shadow on Earth, blocking the sun's light. Animals don't know what's happening, so I think it's night. In a lunar eclipse, that's when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Earth's atmosphere blocks the sunlight, and only lets some light particles pass. And those light particles are red, so that makes the moon look red. Some people call this a blood moon, but don't be scared. It's just a scattering of light, and nothing to be afraid of." “Now, this may seem a little confusing, but if you look at the pictures of the description, you'll understand. The umbra is the area where the shadow is. The penumbra is where the shadow is lighter. That's when you see a partial eclipse. Now, it's time for a tough quiz. Good luck! Number one, what happens in a solar eclipse? Number two, why does a moon turn red in a lunar eclipse? Three, why does a moon turn red in a lunar eclipse? Here are the answers. Number one, what happens in the solar eclipse? The answer is the sun's light on the earth is blocked by the moon. Number two, why does the moon turn red in the lunar eclipse? The answer to that is because our atmosphere scatters the red light. Make sure to check out the links in the description. There's even a video of the solar eclipse you can watch.
