Solar Eclipse
A solar eclipse is where the sun, moon and Earth all align so that the moon is covering the sun.
NEVER look at an eclipse without special glasses because the UV
light could blind
you!
This is a partial eclipse (left) and this is a total eclipse (right).
This is us SAFELY veiwing our first
ever eclipse
The sun and moon look the same size because even though the sun is 400 times
bigger, the sun is 400 times
further away from the Earth
than the moon.
