1.3 Eclipses: Guided Reading
An eclipse occurs
solar
lunar
umbra
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes
directly between Earth and the sun, blocking
sunlight from reaching Earth.
1.3 Eclipses: Guided Reading, p2
penumbra
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is directly between the
moon and the sun.
1.3 Eclipses: Guided Reading, p3
tides
gravity
Tides occur mainly because of differences in how much
the moon’s gravity pulls on different parts of Earth.
1.3 Eclipses: Guided Reading, p4
A spring tide is a tide with the greatest difference between
consecutive low tides and high tides.
A neap tide is a tide with the least difference between
consecutive low tides and high tides.

What causes the phases of the moon?
1.
 Half the moon is always lit by the sun; but, we see the moon at
different angles which causes the phases of the moon.
2. What are solar and lunar eclipses?
 When the moon passes into the Earth's shadow, it's called a lunar
eclipse. When the Sun is blocked from view by the moon, it's
called a solar eclipse.
3. What causes the tides?
 Tides are caused mainly by differences in how much the moon's
gravity pulls on different parts of the Earth. Spring tides are caused
by the gravity of the sun and moon pulling in the same direction.
Neap tides are caused by the gravity of the sun and moon pulling in
opposing directions.

Study Guide: Tipped Orbit
 This diagram explains
why we don't have two
eclipses every month.
 The moon’s orbit
around Earth is inclined
(tipped) by 5 degrees
relative to Earth’s orbit
around the Sun, so the
Earth, moon, and Sun
do not line up exactly
very often which makes
eclipses more rare.

Eclipses Book

 Take a lap.
 Along the way, collect a pair of
scissors and a glue stick and your
Eclipse Book packet on front table.
 End up at your 6:00 meeting.


 When all your rectangles are cut
out, collect ONE piece of black
construction paper from the
front table.
1. Fold it in half the long way.
2. Cut and Fold
 Cut on the fold to give each
partner one piece of black
construction paper that is 4.5” x
9” long.
 Fold your cut piece of black
paper into fourths.
Eclipses Book

Refold your black paper
into an “M” shape.
Retrieve two gluesticks.
3. Cut out and attach the
cover on the front page
of your “M” shape.
