A solar eclipse happens when the _____ blocks
our view of the sun. This happens when the
Moon is exactly between the Sun and the Earth
during the _________ phase.
Moon
new moon
The shadows cast during an eclipse have two
parts: The penumbra and the umbra. The
________ is the faint _____ shadow. A
_______ eclipse is visible from within this
shadow.
penumbra
outer
partial
The second part of the shadow is the
______. The umbra is the dark _____
shadow. A _____ eclipse is visible from
within the umbral shadow.
umbra
inner
total
How to draw a solar eclipse:
1) On a piece of paper, draw a Sun on the
far left, an Earth on the far right, and a
moon close to the Earth. All bodies need to
be drawn in a straight line.

2) Find a point at the top of the Sun and the
top of the Moon. Using a ruler, draw a line
to connect the points and continue line to the
Earth.

3) Now from the same point on the Sun, find
the point at the center of the bottom of the
moon and draw a line.

Viewing a solar eclipse with the naked eye is
very _________. The intense visible light from

The next graphic shows the path for
different solar eclipses through
2025. Notice there are two solar

A special feature during a total solar eclipse is
called ____________. These are bead-like
bursts of light that appear about _________
before and after totality during a solar eclipse.
Baily's beads
15 seconds
Baily's beads are caused by sunlight
shining through valleys on the edge of the
_____. They roughly resemble a string
of beads.
Moon
Another
interesting
feature during a
solar eclipse is
called a
____________.
This is a large
burst of light that
appears a few
seconds before
and after totality.

and Sun’s
__________ can
be observed and
studied.

prominences
Here a solar prominence is visible during a
total solar eclipse. The prominence appears
as a ___ cloud and consists of ionized ____
that is projecting above the surface of the sun.
red
gas
The moon’s orbit around the Earth is an
_______ shape. If the eclipse happens during
the moon’s apogee, its ______ distance from
the Earth, the moon’s shadow is a bit smaller
and the result is an _______ eclipse.
elliptical
farthest
annular
During an annular eclipse, an outer ring of
the Sun will be ______ around the moon. The
moon does not completely block out the sun.
visible
This illustration shows an ________
shadow produced during this type of
eclipse .
antumbra
The second type of eclipse is a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the _____ passes
through the shadow of the ______. This
happens during a ____ moon. A total lunar
eclipse is only evident when the Moon is
passing through the Earth’s umbral shadow.
Moon
Earth
full
During the total eclipse, the Moon is still _____.
The Moon will actually become a variety of
colors from deep black to rich shades of red.
The red coloring comes from light from the sun
that is _______ as it passes through the Earth’s
__________ and is bent
toward the moon. That
light reflects off the
surface of the Moon and
into our eyes on Earth.
visible
filtered
atmosphere
The red or copper color will only be seen as
the shadow of the Earth _________ covers
the Moon. See the progression of a total
lunar eclipse.
completely
Unlike solar eclipses which last only a few
minutes, a total lunar eclipse lasts over
_______. The shadow from the Earth is _____
than the shadow that the Moon casts on the
Earth during a solar eclipse.

A _______
lunar eclipse
occurs when
only part of
the Moon

Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial phenomena where shadows are cast by one celestial body upon another. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon blocks the view of the Sun during the new moon phase, while a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. This article explains the different types of eclipses and how to draw a solar eclipse step by step.
