~This is just a diagram of the solar and lunar eclipse I made for my school work (The top half is solar eclipse and the bottom is lunar eclipse). And the following text will be part of me explaining the concept, so... yeah :P =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In the diagram, the top half shows the solar eclipse with the moon between the Sun and the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sunlight and casts a shadow on Earth, which from Earth looks like the moon is covering the sun. The only visible part of the Sun is its corona. Also, the diagram shows that only parts of earth can see a complete solar eclipse. Others can only see a partial solar eclipse. On the bottom half, the Earth is between the sun and moon. This is a lunar eclipse because the Earth is blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the moon. The half of Earth that is facing the moon can see the lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth’s atmosphere refracts the sunlight, which makes the moon look red.
