Solar system and eclipse
... A solar eclipse is when the moon moves directly between the Sun and the Earth. It's unusual because the Earth, Sun and the Moon all have to align. It also rare because of the elliptical (oval) shape of the Moon's path, or orbit, around the Earth, meaning the Moon is sometimes further away from us. A ...
