    For everyone who was forced to watch this, here's what you need to know:
    1: eclipse means the obscuring of the light from one celestial body
    2: In a solar eclipse, the sun gets darker, and in a lunar eclipse, the moon gets darker
    3: In a solar eclipse, the moon is blocking out light from the sun and casts a shadow on the earth
    4: In a lunar eclipse, the earth blocks out the light from the sun, so earths shadow is cast on the moon
    5: The moon is a full moon during a lunar eclipse, and a new moon during a solar eclipse
    6: We don't always see a lunar eclipse whenever there is a full moon because the moon orbits the earth at an angle, meaning that the sun can't cast a shadow on the earth onto the moon because they're not in a straight line

    my favorite factoid is that the sun is about 400 times farther away than the moon and about 400 times larger in diameter, so the two are relatively the 'same size' and the moon (in a solar eclipse) perfectly covers the sun.

    LOVE your videos...but I learned the difference between the lunar and solar eclipse way back around the second grade of elementary school...from my paternal grandfather...I guess there are always those who have no idea about things though. Interesting that my high school never taught physics...nor did they do much math beyond geometry...had to learn that all later in night school courses...then on to college...

  • @AbdullahArRafi
    @AbdullahArRafi 8 років тому +2

    The Lunar eclipse cause slightly different than 6 Solar months because The Moon is twirling around the Earth. That causes the moon to go in the shadow late. Also, the distance between the Sun and the Earth isn't constant. That also has effects on the Lunar Eclipse.

  • @mrkaw8370
    @mrkaw8370 7 років тому +6

    Seems like an amazing coincidence that the moon happens to be the right size and distance to totally eclipse the sun but not block out the corona. I don't think this happens for any of the other planets in our system.

  • @Buzzfly
    @Buzzfly 9 років тому +4

    The part about the tides confused me a bit. From what I know maximum tides are caused by both the sun and the moon being in line with earth, so the gravity of both bodies work together. The video makes it sound like this only happens during lunar eclipses, but the same would be true during solar eclipses, as the bodies are all aligned again... right?
    Also, the audio clip in the background from the first 20 seconds is the same clip that RoosterTeeth uses on the end screen for their Lets Play's. Yay for royalty free music libraries! (I assume)

    • @InDmand
      @InDmand 9 років тому +2

      A Lunar eclipse has the Sun&Moon lined up with the earth in the middle place (SEM) while a Solar eclipse has them lined up both on the Suns side of the Earth(SME), I assume that would make some difference and could have one of these events producing higher tides than the other. But i'm not reliable enough to factcheck :p

    • @Buzzfly
      @Buzzfly 9 років тому +3

      I thought about that as well, and it makes sense that they would. If you look up how this works though, it turns out being on opposite sides works as well. Both are pulling the oceans in their own direction, which pulls water from areas not in line with them, adding water to both sides... it's hard to describe, when you see it visually it makes way more sense. Also, this video had a great chance to introduce the word Syzygy, which is when 3 celestial bodies line up, and a great scrabble word!

    When I would go backpacking an at night you could see something come out of the earth shadow so a light appears where you could not see it before. You see a moving light an it goes out in med sky it passes into the earth shadow
