                                                                      Summary

     There are 2 different types of eclipses, Solar and Lunar eclipse. Solar eclipses are rare, lunar eclipses happen more often. A lunar eclipse is when during the moon revolution the moon moves into the earth shadow and is block from the sunlight. The moon revolution takes 27.3 days, which means there is a full moon every then. Depending on the position of the sun, earth and moon, the moon shows different phases. For example full moon, new moon and quarter moon. Eclipses only happen on full moons. However, there are 2 different types of lunar eclipse, total and partial lunar eclipse. Total lunar eclipse is when the moon moves entirely into the earth umbra and is block from the sunlight. The moon is fully darken on a total lunar eclipse. On a partial lunar eclipse, part of the moon is in the umbra and part in the penumbra, only part of the moon is darken. When one side of the earth is having an eclipse the other side doesn't see it. The next lunar eclipse is on October 18th at 11:51 pm.

                                                        Critical Thinking Question
    Revolution affects the earth in many ways. Revolution is the action of the earth moving around the sun. It takes 365 days. Some examples of revolution affect are ocean tides and seasons. Ocean tide follows the movement of the moon. When the sun, moon and earth are on a line its spring tide. When they are forming a right angle its neap tide.Also when the earth is close to the sun its equinox and when its far away its solciste.

1.I really enjoyed working with my group because every body did they job and equal amount of work.
2.The most challenging part of this project was making the video because we needed to have perfect time for everything.
3.One thing i would improve is the video, make it more creative and clear for everybody to understand.
