What's the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse?

Solar and lunar eclipse - which is which? And how can you finally remember the difference?

[boiledbread]

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

Aug. 11, 1999 - i will always remember the full solar eclipse above my head...Every birds stopped singing at once. People got completely euphoric...really weird and exciting. Oh, and when the eclipse is total, you can remove the glasses 8)

Online schooling hasn’t helped me like any educational videos that aren’t game theory

But, but, but… why is the moon red during a lunar eclipse?!

I know the answer, I just thought I'd try and spark an interesting comment answer :)

This is a great video.  I just taught about eclipses to my grade sixes as part of our space unit.  I put your video up on our class newsfeed to reinforce the concepts. I think it will really help them, as I remember getting the two mixed up a lot (before I had to teach them :).

I saw my first lunar eclipse last year when I was visiting my aunt at a apartment and it was amazing. I also saw the solar eclipse at school with solar glasses and to be honest I prefer the lunar eclipse since I can look directly at it with my eyes.

I am very happy to see this. I wanted to start a channel like this but I've been pulled to do other things. I wish you the best. Keep teaching.

love the way you have expressed it is marked in my memory forever ❤

[paulhahn]

This was a really well put together video! I was able to understand everything you said. Keep up the good videos :)

OMG. Thank you so much! I have a science test soon, and our teacher gave us barely any revision material. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have subscribed and will surely be watching again <3

[pschroeter]

That was really clear and your enthusiasm is intense. Now do the umbras.

:D Love these videos! Thanks for the upload

Who else watched this from the thing, “Watch It!”

[humnahraheel]

Thx! This helped me a lot I have a science final exam on this tomorrow!! :)

[AC-fgvl]

These videos that we’re getting forced to watch for online schooling really stink

[welp]

thank you for this!! i have my science final tomorrow and this just taught me the difference!

I had a huge grin when I searched for a random question on youtube and a Physics Girl video was the top result 😁
