#eclipse
The Sun is 400 times bigger than the Moon.
But from Earth, they look exactly the same size.
There's no reason it had to work out that way - it's a coincidence.
And because of it, the Moon can perfectly cover the Sun.
In this video, we break down both types of eclipses - solar and lunar - how each one works, why the Moon turns red, why you can't look directly at a solar eclipse, and how long this window in history will last before total solar eclipses stop happening forever.
What you'll learn:
- Why eclipses don't happen every month
- What a solar eclipse looks like from inside the path of totality
- Why the Moon turns red during a lunar eclipse (it's Earth's sunsets)
- The key differences between solar and lunar eclipses
- The Moon's slow drift away from Earth, the solar corona, and what ancient China thought was happening
