The Universe: The Solar and Lunar Eclipse

The video tutorial explains the differences between solar and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, while a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon. Solar eclipses happen during the day and last about 7 minutes, requiring safety precautions to prevent eye damage. Lunar eclipses occur at night and can last up to two hours, with no special precautions needed. The video also describes the types of eclipses: solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular, while lunar eclipses can be total or partial.
