Solar Eclipse And Lunar Eclipse

As we all know that both the Earth and the Moon get light, ie energy, from the Sun. Due to the same rotation speed of both the Earth and the Moon, only one part of the Moon is visible from the Earth.

When the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are in a straight line, then a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse occurs. Total solar eclipses are often seen but total lunar eclipses are not often seen. There can be a maximum of seven eclipses (solar eclipse and lunar eclipse) in a year. Out of which solar eclipse can happen at least twice and maximum five times.

Full Moon ( पूर्णिमा )

When the entire illuminated part of the moon is visible from the earth, it is called a full moon. This phenomenon happens only once in a month. That is, on this day the entire illuminated part of the moon is in front of the earth.

New Moon ( अमावस्या )

Unlike the full moon, when the entire unlit part of the moon is visible from the earth, it is called Amavasya. This phenomenon also happens only once in a month. That is, on this day the entire unlit part of the moon is in front of the earth.

1. Solar Eclipse : How and when?

In this state of solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth during the day, due to which the light of the Sun does not fall on the Earth, but the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth. Solar eclipse takes place on Amavasya. Total solar eclipses are often seen but total lunar eclipses are not often seen.

Partial Solar Eclipse

When the Moon covers only some part of the Sun, this situation is called Partial Solar Eclipse.

Diamond Ring

When the Moon covers the Sun completely, at that time only the peripheral part of the Sun shines like a diamond. This bright peripheral part of the Sun is called the diamond ring. This state is formed only at the time of total solar eclipse.

2. Lunar Eclipse : How and when?

In this state of lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun, due to which the light of the Sun does not fall on the Moon, but the shadow of the Earth falls on the Moon.

Few Questions and Answers

Question: According to the above description, there should be a lunar eclipse on every full moon and a solar eclipse on every new moon, but this does not happen. Why ?

Answer : The rotation speed and orbital path of the Moon and the Earth are the same, but the Moon is inclined to its axis by 5 degrees, due to which when the Moon and the Earth reach the same point of rotation, at that time the Moon moves a little further due to its axial tilt. goes For this reason, lunar eclipse and solar eclipse do not occur on every full moon and new moon.

Question: Total solar eclipses are observed but total lunar eclipses are not observed, why?

Answer : Due to the substantial difference in the size of the Sun, Moon and Earth, total solar eclipses are observed, but total lunar eclipses are not observed.

Question : Solar eclipse should not be seen with bare or naked eyes, why?

Answer : At the time of a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth. In this state, ultraviolet rays emerge from the peripheral regions of the Sun, which are harmful to the eyes. During a total solar eclipse, a diamond ring is formed around the Sun. This emits a large amount of ultraviolet rays.

Landforms Made by Wind Activities

Wind and Its Functions About one-third of the Earth's land area is arid, semi-arid and desert. Lack of humidity and vegetation is often seen in these regions. Due to lack of humidity and vegetation, the soil particles here remain loose. Wind is an important contributor to denudation in these areas. Winds do three types of work in these areas, due to which different types of wind formed topographies are formed. How Blood Donation is Good For Health ? Works of Wind Winds perform three types of functions in arid and semi-arid areas, which are as follows – Deflation Abrasion or Corrasion Attrition 1. Deflation In this, the unorganized particles of the soil are blown away by the wind, as a result of which the trough is formed. Lag Deposits and Marukuttim (Desert Pavement) When the wind carries away the small particles of the soil by the process of ablation, then the bigger particles are left behind.
