This type of eclipse happens when the Moon blocks the Sun
A Solar Eclipse
This is the movement of Earth traveling around the Sun.
When the visible part of the Moon is getting bigger, it is called this.

A day/ 24 hours
This phase shows the entire lit half of the Moon.
A Full Moon
During a solar eclipse, the Moon is located in this position.
Between the sun and earth
Earth takes this amount of time to complete one revolution.
A year/365 days
When the visible part of the Moon is getting smaller, it is called this.
Waning
Rotation causes this daily pattern of light and darkness.
Day and Night
This happens when we see different amounts of the Moon’s lit surface from Earth.

What is an ellipses
What is the energy of movement
Kinetic Energy
If Earth suddenly stopped rotating, this would no longer occur every 24 hours.

It takes about this many days for the Moon to complete one full cycle of phases.
A month or 27.5-29.5 days
You must use this special equipment to safely view a solar eclipse.
What are eclipse glasses
During revolution, Earth stays tilted at about this angle.
23.5 degrees
If you see a mostly lit Moon that is shrinking, it is in this phase.
