What else can I help you with?
Can anyone give you a thesis statement for a research paper on lunar eclipses or blood moon?
If you are writing a research paper, you need to write it yourself. Here are a couple of good references for the topic of eclipses, at the links below.
How often are lunar eclipses in the northern hemisphere?
The hemisphere is irrelevant. Lunar eclipses happen, over the long run, about one and a half times a year or so for partial or total lunar eclipses. (if we add penumbral eclipses also, they're a bit more common, but you need special equipment to detect a penumbral eclipse... you can't really tell visually). Lunar eclipses are visible from the entire dark half of the Earth, while solar eclipses are visible only along a narrow path. This makes it SEEM as if solar eclipses are rare, but they are only rare for a specific location. The NASA Eclipse Web Page has a listing of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD. Because a lunar eclipse lasts for some time, a bit over half the Earth gets to see any given one. You can reasonably expect to see slightly under one lunar eclipse per year.
What do solar and lunar eclipses have in common?
They both block light from falling on something else. In the case of the solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun's light from falling on the Earth; in the case of the lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from falling on the Moon.
What are similarities between solar and lunar eclipses?
The Sun, Moon, and Earth are all aligned in both.
What scientific value does a lunar eclipse have?
According to NASA's website, total lunar eclipses have limited scientific value. Because they are beautiful events, however, they do help people to become interested in science. They also provide unique learning experiences for children, parents, and teachers to experience together. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are totally safe to view with no protection for the eyes and need no special equipment for viewing, although using a pair of binoculars or telescope will bring out the moon's colors.
Why do eclipses not occur more often?
Lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses. The quick-and-dirty reason for this is because the earth casts a larger shadow than the moon. Lunar eclipses are also quite a bit longer in duration than solar eclipses. Solar eclipses last minutes, and lunar eclipses can last hours.
What are the precautionary measures in case of lunar and solar eclipse?
Don't panic. That's really all the "precautions" you need to take in the case of either a lunar or solar eclipse. Well, for a solar eclipse there's also "don't look directly at the sun you idiot".
Where will the next lunar eclipse happen?
(posted 3/22/10) The next eclipse will be a solar eclipse on July 11, 2010; if you live on Easter Island, it should be spectacular. The path of totality includes a few islands in French Polynesia, a LONG swath of the South Pacific, Easter Island and tiny slices of Argentina and Chile. After that, all of North America will experience a total lunar eclipse on December 21, 2010. And you can check out the NASA Eclipse web page for a list of all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD at the link below.
What is the Period of difference between a solar and a lunar year?
The period of difference between a solar year (365 days) and a lunar year (354 days) is roughly 11 days. This is why lunar calendars (based on the moon's phases) need to add intercalary months to stay in sync with solar calendars (based on Earth's orbit around the sun).
Why eclipses occur monthly or nearly monthly?
The rotation of the moon (the path it takes when orbiting Earth) is on a tilt, and that makes it so that we don't always have eclipses. For example, for a lunar eclipse to happen, the moon needs to pass straight through Earth's shadow (this counts for solar eclipses as well, just the moon would need to pass across the sun), and because the moon's rotation is on an angle, it doesn't always pass through Earth's shadow.
What are Solar and Lunar Eclipses?
An eclipse is when one object in space prevents light from the star reaching another object. In the case of a solar eclipse, the moon aligns between Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light from reaching earth. During a lunar eclipse, the opposite occurs: Earth aligns between the moon and the sun, and prevents light from reaching it (where otherwise a full moon would have happened, the moon is actually completely darkened).Partial eclipses occur when the objects are not quite aligned right, so only half (or any fraction except all or none) of the sun's light is blocked off.what is.A solar eclipse is were the moon passes in between the sun and earth. The moon blocks some or all of the sun light making the moon look like it has a halo around it.A lunar eclipse is when the earth comes between the sun and moon. this then cause a shadow of the earth onto the moon. this can only happen at the time of a full moon and when the sun,earth and the moon are all lined up together.A solar eclipse is caused when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun. The shadow can be partial or total. Because the much-smaller Moon is close to the Earth, it can appear the same size as the Sun. The three types of solar eclipse are partial, total, and annular, this being where the Moon appears slightly smaller and does not cover the entire disk.A lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow passes over a full moon, darkening its surface. The Moon is immediately "behind" the Earth in its orbit. Lunar eclipses can be partial or total.The alignment of Sun, Earth, and Moon happens 2 to 5 times a year for solar eclipses, but total eclipses occur about once every 18 months, and affect only a small area on the Earth's surface. Lunar eclipses happen every 6 months, but total eclipses (the whole Moon darkened) normally occur in cycles of three, followed by three partial lunar eclipses.*When total solar eclipses occur, they are preceded or followed by a lunar eclipse, separated by a period of about 14-15 days. This is because the Moon is orbiting directly on the Earth-Sun plane at the time.Lunar: The earth interrupts light shining on the moon Solar: The moon interrupts light from the sunA lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes into the Earth's umbra, or total shadow. This can only happen at a full Moon when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are exactly in line.A solar eclipse occurs when the Moonpasses between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from some location on Earth.Well a solar eclipses is when the moon covers the sun.A lunar eclipse is when the earths shadow is on the moon and we cant see it!A lunar eclipse is when the earth comes between sun and moon. Solar eclipse is when the moon comes between sun and earth..A lunar eclipse is when the Sun, Moon and Earth align and the earth casts a shadow on the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the Moon is in front of the Earth and the sun is shining on the moon putting a crescent-like shape on the Earth until they are completely aligned.There is two types of eclipse.One is where the Moon gets in between the Sun and the Earth, and blocks out some of the sunlight reaching the Earth. A shadow is cast on the Earth.This is called an eclipse of the Sun, otherwise known as a Solar Eclipse.The other is where the Earth gets in between the Sun and the Moon. When the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth, we call it an eclipse of the Moon. This is also known as a Lunar Eclipse.
Why is solar energy important for lunar mining?
Lunar mining will need energy. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) may not be available on the moon, and, in any case, they will not burn without oxygen. Solar energy is readily available and usable on the moon, as it is on earth.
