High Five Facts - Eclipse

The video explains the two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun's light, while a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon. Not all eclipses are total; some are partial or annular, where the moon appears smaller and creates a 'Ring of Fire.' Safety is crucial during solar eclipses, and viewers should use eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors. Eclipses can confuse animals, causing them to behave as if it's nighttime. Lunar eclipses don't happen every month due to the moon's tilted orbit. The video provides five key facts about eclipses.
