Section Five

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelt good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang a song by the camp fire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping-bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping-bag and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent.

An eclipse of the Moons means the blocking of the Moon's light so that the Moon is dark (totally or partially) at the time we are supposed to be able to see it bright.
An eclipse of the Moon occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow in space. It moves first into a region of partial darkness, called the penumbra, then into a region of almost complete darkness, called the umbra. The Moon may remain in eclipse for up to about two and a half hours. During a lunar eclipse the Moon often takes on a faint glow. This is caused by the sunlight reaching it after having been bent by the Earth's atmosphere.
An eclipse of the Sun occurs when the New Moon moves in front of the Sun and blots out some or all of its light. In a partial eclipse only part of the Sun is blotted out: In an annular eclipse the Moon does not quite mask the Sun, leaving a ring (annulus) of light. In a total eclipse the Moon masks the Sun completely. A shadow, up to 250 km wide, travels rapidly over the Earth's surface. Totally time (of total eclipse) lasts only up to about seven and a half minutes.

  • d. it is the movement of the Moon towards the shadow of the Earth
  • e. it is the blocking of the Sun or the Moon's light
12. Why does an eclipse of the Moon occur?
  • a. because in the orbit the Moon is located in the Earth's shadow
  • b. because the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth
  • c. because the Sun is located between the Moon and the Earth
  • d. because the Sun is blocking the Moon's light
  • e. because the Moon is located in the Sun's shadow
13. Why does the Moon take on a faint glow when it is in eclipse?
  • a. because it still keeps some of the light before the eclipse occurs
  • b. sunlight is reaching it after having been bent by Earth's atmosphere
  • c. because the eclipse have been completed and is over
  • d. because the shadow that blocks its light has moved away
