Solar Eclipse
Solar EclipseA solar eclipse is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the
Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks (“occults”) the Sun. This can happen only at
new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment
referred to as syzygy. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In
partial and annular eclipses, only part of the Sun is obscured.If the Moon were in a perfectly
circular orbit, a little closer to the Earth, and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar
eclipses every month. However, the Moon’s orbit is inclined (tilted) at more than 5 degrees to the
Earth’s orbit around the Sun (see ecliptic), so its shadow at new moon usually misses Earth.
Earth’s orbit is called the ecliptic plane as the Moon’s orbit must cross this plane in order for an
eclipse (both solar as well as lunar) to occur. In addition, the Moon’s actual orbit is elliptical, often
taking it far enough away from Earth that its apparent size is not large enough to block the Sun
totally. The orbital planes cross each other at a line of nodes resulting in at least two, and up to
five, solar eclipses occurring each year; no more than two of which can be total eclipses.
However, total solar eclipses are rare at any particular location because
totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth’s surface traced by the
Moon’s shadow or umbra.An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless,
in some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses have been attributed to
supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. A total solar eclipse can be
frightening to people who are unaware of its astronomical explanation, as the
Sun seems to disappear during the day and the sky darkens in a matter of
minutes.Since looking directly at the Sun can lead to permanent eye damage
or blindness, special eye protection or indirect viewing techniques are used
when viewing a solar eclipse. It is technically safe to view only the total phase
of a total solar eclipse with the unaided eye and without protection; however,
this is a dangerous practice, as most people are not trained to recognize the
phases of an eclipse, which can span over two hours while the total phase can
only last a maximum of 7.5 minutes for any one location. People referred to
as eclipse chasers or umbraphiles will travel to remote locations to observe or
witness predicted central solar eclipses
Definition
Explanation Text is one of the texts used to
explain the way (process) something happens,
especially those related to natural phenomena,
the scientific world or socio-cultural.
Purpose
To explain the processes that occur in the
formation of something related to natural, social,
scientific, cultural, and other phenomena that
aim to explain how or why this can happen.
Explanation Text Structure
• General Statement : The authors will explain the general
description of the natural events that will be discussed.
Then, the writers will write concisely, interestingly, and
clearly.
• Sequenced Explanation : Explain why the event occurred
in a few paragraphs. It should also be remembered, that in
this section we are also obliged to explain how this process
occurs.
• Interpretation : In the interpretation section, we can
explain the conclusion or essence of the events that we have
explained in the explanatory text.
Language Feature Explanation Text
• Noun Phrase : Is a phrase that has a noun as its
head or performs the same grammatical function
as a noun.
• Action Verbs : A verb that describes an action.
• Simple Present Tense : Because it explains the
facts, the tense used is the present tense.
• Passive Voice : Passive voice is used when the
explanation focuses on the process or action.
that's enough and thank you very
much 
