Kids Learning Tube - Lunar Eclipse

〈Chorus〉
Let’s learn about the lunar eclipse
It’s when the moon darkens as it passes into the earth’s shadow please don’t miss this
Let’s learn about the lunar eclipse
The earth passes between the moon and the sun to the earth’s shadow I kiss

〈Verse 1〉
I’m the moon you can see me, day or night
When you look into the sky I’m the earth natural satellite
You may be asking yourself “what’s a lunar eclipse?”
It’s when the earth passes between the moon and sun like this
When the sun hits the earth, the earth casts a shadow upon me
We’ll learn about the shadow’s names and stages of the eclipse you will see
The penumbra is a partially shaded outer region of the shadow caused by an opaque object like the earth not letting light pass
The umbra is the fully shaded area you see here
Caused by the opaque object not letting any light pass

〈Bridge〉
There are seven stages to this event you will see caused by the penumbra and umbra you’ll learn these names with me

〈Verse 2〉
Stage 1 is the penumbral it’s when I enter the penumbra here and a partial shadow’s cast on my surface over there
Stage 2 is the partial eclipse when the earth moves between the sun and the moon a bit more casting more of a shadow upon me
The total eclipse is the name of stage 3, it’s when the earth blocks the rays of the sun completely
The maximum eclipse is stage 4 you may see me turn a reddish color
This is the middle of the total eclipse to me there is no other
Stage 5 is the total eclipse end it’s when I touch the umbra eternally once again
Stage 6 is the partial eclipse end it’s when the moon leaves the umbra leading to the penumbral again
The penumbral eclipse end is the final stage you see it’s when the moon leaves the penumbral and the sun shines itself on me
〈Chorus〉
Let’s learn about the lunar eclipse
It’s when the moon darkens as it passes into the earth’s shadow please don’t miss this
Let’s learn about the lunar eclipse
The earth passes between the moon and the sun to the earth’s shadow I kiss
