The idea of an eclipse
The actual truth of an eclipse
I would like to share my view of the eclipse. It is a complex thing if you look at it. The earth rotates around the sun which is alot bigger than it. It takes 330,000 earths to make our sun and the moon is smaller than the earth and would take 64.3 million moons to make the up the size of the sun but in a eclipse they seem to be the same size. It is amazing how we live on this planet. The earth is going around the sun while the moon is going around the earth. We are actually spinning in space on the earth 🌎 and we cannot tell that the earth is spinning very fast, it spins 1000 miles per hour which is very fast. It's amazing how we don't fall of the earth but with gravity we can't tell what is really going on. So when we see an eclipse we should be amazed at every moment of it because the earth has to be at the perfect distance from the sun and the moon to make the sun and the moon seem the same size.
