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.
