How to make working model of lunar eclipse?

Answer 1

Set up a couple of bright lights close together (no more than a foot or so apart) at one end of a room pointing toward the center. (The rest of the room should be dark.) Place a globe on a table near the other end of the room.

Hold a softball (or other ball about 1/4 the size of the globe) about 2 feet away from the globe. As you move the softball between the lights and the globe, notice that a small area on the globe is shadowed.

As you turn the globe VERY SLOWLY and move the softball SLOWLY, you will note that the shadow moves across the globe.

Answer 2

You need an earth, a sun, and a moon.

A Lunar Eclipse is when the earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon during what would normally be a full moon, and it makes the moon look brown.

So, a brown moon, a blue earth and a yellow sun.

And probably some glitter.

Cause glitter makes everything more scientific.

Answer 3

To make a working model of a lunar eclipse, you can use a flashlight to represent the Sun, a small ball (like a ping pong ball) to represent the Moon, and a larger ball (like a Basketball) to represent the Earth. Shine the flashlight on the Earth-ball and position the Moon-ball between the two to create the shadow effect of a lunar eclipse when you move the Moon-ball into the Earth's shadow. Experiment with different angles and distances to simulate the phases of a lunar eclipse.

Answer 4

I don't exactly know how. But here are some tsaturday night my grandma said rst:

styrofoam balls

string

paint

box

Answer 5

Turn on a light, hold out your hand, put your other hand in between the light and the first hand. This is the interaction between the sun, earth and moon.
