Student Exploration: 3d Eclipse Jun 2026

When the simulation was set to the Full Moon phase:

Draw two diagrams: a. Top-down view (nodes labeled) b. Side view (tilts shown) for a solar eclipse vs. a lunar eclipse. student exploration: 3d eclipse

If the Moon’s orbit were not tilted, how would eclipses change? When the simulation was set to the Full

The partial or total blocking of light from one celestial body by another. student exploration: 3d eclipse

: Using the 3D simulation, find a date for the next annular solar eclipse. What is different about the Moon’s distance compared to a total eclipse?
