Question

1. on the back of this paper, draw a picture that includes all the components of a system that will help you explain how a lunar eclipse occurs.

Explanation:

To draw the system for a lunar eclipse, we need to include the Sun, Earth, and Moon. The key is to show their alignment: the Sun emits light, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and the Earth's shadow (umbra and penumbra) falls on the Moon. The order should be Sun (on one side), Earth (in the middle), and Moon (on the other side, within Earth's shadow). We can represent the Sun as a large circle with rays, Earth as a circle, and Moon as a smaller circle. The Earth's shadow can be drawn as a cone - shaped region (umbra) and a larger, less - intense region (penumbra) extending behind the Earth towards the Moon.

Answer:

The drawing should include the Sun, Earth, and Moon with the Earth between the Sun and the Moon, showing the Earth's shadow (umbra and penumbra) falling on the Moon. Represent the Sun with rays, Earth as a circle, Moon as a smaller circle, and draw the Earth's shadow (umbra as a darker, narrower cone - shaped region and penumbra as a lighter, wider region) behind the Earth towards the Moon.
