Question
Can a solar or lunar eclipse be observed at the same time everywhere on Earth?
Yes, because Earth and the Moon are the same distance to the Sun.
No, because one side of Earth is always in complete darkness due to its rotation.
Yes, because areas all over Earth receive the same amount of solar energy.
No, because Earth and the Moon rotate at the same speed.
Question 6.
How does a solar eclipse compare with a lunar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, the Sun gets darker as the Moon blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light.
During a solar eclipse, the Sun gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar eclipse, the Sun gets darker as the Moon blocks the Sun's light.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon gets darker the Moon blocks the Sun's light. During a lunar eclipse, the Sun gets darker as Earth blocks the Sun's light.
Question 7.
Why do eclipses not occur each month?
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.
Due to their revolution around the Sun, Earth and the Moon are not always close enough to block the Sun's light.
Due to their changing distance to the Sun, Earth and the Moon are not always beside each other to block the Sun's light.
Due to the tilt of Earth's orbit and the Moon's orbit, their positions are not always aligned to block the Sun's light.
Question 8.
Using their model, the students work to construct an explanation of what must occur to result in a solar and lunar eclipse. Pick two statements the students can use in their explanation.
The Moon's orbital plane must be different than Earth's orbital plane.
The Moon and Earth must rotate at different speeds.
The Sun, Earth, and the Moon must be in alignment.
Light from the Sun must be blocked by either the Moon or Earth.
The Moon must have a tilted orbit.
