light coming from the Sun.

sixth of Earth’s gravity.

Q1.Moon’s surface is uneven-Give reason
Ans. It has many craters.
Q2.Why is there no life on moon?
Ans. Moon has no atmosphere due to less gravity so
there is no water and hence without water and air life
is not possible.

LO-To explain the occurrence of
eclipses
• Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes


in front of the Sun causing a shadow to fall on
certain portions of the Earth. The eclipse is not
seen from every place on Earth, but only from
the locations where the shadow falls. From
these locations, it appears as if the Sun has
gone dark.
Types of Solar Eclipses
• Depending on what part of the shadow you
are located in, there are three types of
eclipses
• We should warn you here to never look
directly at a solar eclipse. Even though it
appears darker, the harmful rays of the Sun
can still damage your eyes.
Health and safety tip-Don't Look at A Solar
Eclipse directly.
Types of Solar Eclipses
• Total - A total eclipse is where the Sun is
covered completely by the Moon. The portion
of the Earth that is in the umbra experiences a
total eclipse.
• Partial - A partial eclipse is when only a
portion of the Sun is blocked by the Moon. It
occurs when the observer is within the
penumbra.
Lunar Eclipse
• A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes
through the Earth's shadow. Lunar eclipses
have types as solar eclipses
Key Vocabulary
1. Orbit - The path of the Moon around the Earth.
2. Rotate - The Earth spins around, like a top, about its
axis once each day.
3. Waning – appears to shrink
4. Waxing – appears to be growing
5. Gibbous - Swollen on one side
6. Crescent – less than ½ the moon is visible.
7. Revolve- the motion of one object around another ( the
moon revolves around Earth)
HOTS-

1-Why does a solar eclipse always occur on a new moon day and a lunar eclipse on a
full moon day?

Ans. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when
the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's
surface. A lunar Eclipse happens when the moon travels into earth's shadow and the
earth is between the moon and sun.
2.Why are astronauts unable to hear each other’s voice on the moon?
Ans. Moon has no atmosphere and sound needs a medium to travel.
Due to absence of air on moon, sound cannot travel so astronauts cannot hear each
other.
3. Will we be able to drink juice using a straw on the moon?
Ans. We cannot drink juice using a straw on moon, because to sip the juice
with a straw we need atmospheric pressure and moon has no atmospheric pressure
