How a Solar Eclipse Happens

A solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon that ………… (1) in space. It happens when the Moon blocks the light from the Sun. This phenomenon can be seen from the ………… (2). A solar eclipse only occurs during the ………… (3). It also only happens during a new moon phase. First, the Sun, the ………… (4), and the Earth align in a straight line. Then, the Moon ………… (5) between the Sun and the Earth. As the Moon moves into position, it begins to block sunlight. The ………… (6) of the Moon falls on the Earth. There are different types of solar eclipses. One type is a ………… (7) solar eclipse. In this type, the Sun is completely covered by the Moon. Another type is a partial solar ………… (8). In this case, only part of the Sun is covered. There is also an annular eclipse. In this type, the Moon does not fully ………… (9) the Sun. As a result, a ring of light is ………… (10). The shadow of the Moon has two parts. They are called the ………… (11) and the penumbra. The umbra is the ………… (12) part of the shadow. People in this area ………… (13)a total eclipse. The penumbra is the lighter part. ………… (14) in this area see a partial eclipse. The eclipse only lasts for a short time. The ………… (15) of the Moon determines the duration. Not all places on Earth can see the eclipse. Only certain regions are affected. It is ………… (16) to look directly at the Sun. Special glasses are needed to observe ………… (17) safely. A solar eclipse is a rare and amazing event. It helps scientists study the Sun. This natural phenomenon continues to occur in a predictable pattern. The ………… (18) of a solar eclipse moves across the Earth’s surface. This path is called the path of totality. Only areas within this path can see a total eclipse. Outside this path, people see a partial eclipse. The speed of the Moon’s shadow is very fast. It can move faster than the speed of sound. During a total eclipse, the ………… (19) becomes dark like night. The temperature may also drop slightly. ………… (20) may behave differently during the event. Scientists use this opportunity to study the Sun’s outer layer, called the corona.
