Sleet (ice pellets)
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
This is freezing rain. If the layer of cold air is deep enough, it freezes completely into sleet. But if it is only at the surface, it will fall as rain that freezes on cold surfaces - freezing rain.
Most of the visible light and some of the ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun pass through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.
Visible light radiation passes most easily through Earth's atmosphere. This type of radiation includes the colors of the rainbow (RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET).
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
It is the Prime Meridian.

The moon darkens because it passes through Earths shadow.
a total eclipse
They are the poles.
More specifically, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the umbra, the darker part of the shadow.
The earth's orbit passes through the orbits of cometary debris which manifest themselves as meteorite showers.
axis - An imaginary line that passes through earths center and its north and south poles.
