What is the difference between solar and lunar eclipse?

1 answer:

3 0

A lunar eclipse happens on the moon, when the moon sails through the Earth's wide, fat shadow. Then, for a while, no sunlight can reach the moon, because the Earth is in the way. Anybody on the night side of Earth who looks up toward the moon sees it turn dark, until it sails out of the Earth's shadow after an hour or two.

A solar eclipse happens on the Earth, when the narrow end of the moon's skinny shadow falls somewhere on the surface of the Earth. Then, people who are inside that small spot and look up toward the sun can't see it, because the moon is in the way. The moon is moving so fast, and its shadow is so small, that this can only last for a few minutes at any one place.

Write a list of as many similarities and differences as you can find between marine ecosystems, estuaries, and freshwater ecosys

Hatshy [7]

Similarities:

- Marine and freshwater ecosystems are water, covering almost 75 percent of the earth's surface.

-The most pervasive problem affecting both freshwater and marine ecosystems is pollution.

-The process of regulating the osmotic pressure on fluids inside an organism is essential to all freshwater and marine species.

Differences:

- Marine ecosystems are more diverse than freshwater ones.

- In marine or seawater, the salinity level, or the concentration of salt is greater, but freshwater is not totally void of it.

- Only 1% of the whole water body on the earth is freshwater, the other 99% is marine water.

Note- I couldn't come up with ones for estuaries, sorry.
