Scaffolded (Unpacked) ideas Seasons on earth depend on the relationship within the sun, earth, and moon system. Different seasons are characterized by different climate conditions. Eclipses occur when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another and partially or fully obscures it from being seen. A solar eclipse happens when the moon travels between the sun and the earth, blocking the sun’s light from reaching the earth during the day. During a lunar eclipse the moon moves into the shadow of the earth during nighttime and blocks the view of the moon from the earth. and error, alternative explanations, and questions for further exploration.
