Imagine the sun is like a big, bright light in the sky. When the moon moves between the earth and the sun, it blocks part or all of that light, this is called a solar eclipse. During this time, everything gets darker, just like nighttime. The temperature drops, animals might get confused, and even the weather can change! It's like nature takes a short nap.
Examples
- During a solar eclipse, birds might stop singing like it's nighttime.
- The temperature can drop quickly, just like when you go from the sun to shade.
- Even the sky gets darker during a total eclipse, like magic!
