We’ve reset the eclipse simulation. Click the Run time forward Forward button again but this time use the Stop time Stop button to stop the simulation when the Sun is completely covered – this is called totality. Note the time and try to answer the following:

a) What causes a solar eclipse?

b) When does the total eclipse begin?

Use the Step time forward Forward button until part of the Sun is visible.

e) Approximately how long did the total part of the eclipse last?

d) In what country does the eclipse take place?
