How does a solar eclipse compare with a lunar eclipse?

• Earth blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar

  eclipse, the Moon gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light

• Moon blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar

  eclipse, the Sun gets darker as Earth blocks the

  Sun's light.

• Earth blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar

  eclipse, the Sun gets darker as the Moon blocks the Sun's light

• the Moon blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar

  eclipse, the Moon gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light

Can a solar or lunar eclipse be observed at the same time everywhere on Earth?

• No, because Earth and the Moon rotate at the

  same speed.

• Yes, because Earth and the Moon are the same

  distance to the Sun.

• Yes, because areas all over Earth receive the

  same amount of solar energy.

• No, because one side of Earth is always in

  complete darkness due to its rotation.

Why do eclipses not occur each month?

• Earth's orbit and the Moon's

  orbit, their positions are not always aligned to

  block the Sun's light.

• Due to their revolution around the Sun, Earth

  and the Moon are not always close enough to

  block the Sun's light.

• Due to the speed of Earth's rotation and the

  Moon's rotation, they are not always fast enough

  to block the Sun's light.

• Earth

  and the Moon are not always beside each other

  to block the Sun's light.
