Total Solar Eclipse

Narration:
In the morning, Irene was watching television with her family. They watched the news about the
total solar eclipse, which would occur in 3 days. Irene and her family were excited to see the total
solar eclipse. The news anchor explained that the total solar eclipse was incredibly beautiful. Irine's
sister, who is still in grade 5 of elementary school, said that she was given the assignment to record
the process of the total solar eclipse that would occur. Irene's whole family can't wait to see the
upcoming total solar eclipse.

Expository:

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun so that it appears
to cover some or all of the sun's light in the Earth's sky. A solar eclipse does not occur in every
new moon phase because the moon's orbit is tilted 5° to the ecliptic plane (the plane of the earth's
orbit around the sun) so that the position of the moon is often not in the same plane as the earth
and the sun. An eclipse only occurs if the moon is close enough to the plane of the ecliptic at the
same time as the new moon. Based on the way the sun is covered, there are four types of solar
eclipses: total solar eclipses, annular solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses, and hybrid/mixed solar
eclipses. Total solar eclipses, namely when the moon covers the entire sun so that the corona
(which covers the sun and is usually much dimmer) becomes visible.

Descriptive:

Areas on the Earth's surface that are within the umbra will be able to witness a total solar eclipse
when the disk of the sun is completely covered by the disk of the moon. As the Earth rotates and
the Moon rotates, the umbral shadow will move from west to east, producing a narrow band on
the Earth's surface known as the path of totality. Areas in the path of totality will be able to watch
the sun slowly enter the moon's shadow. That's when the solar eclipse began to occur. The event
of the closing of the solar disk continues slowly for approximately one hour until the total phase
of the eclipse arrives when the solar disk is completely covered. A total solar eclipse turns day into
night. There are stars during this phenomenon. The totality phase will only last for a few minutes
until the sun slowly leaves the umbral shadow and the eclipse gradually ends.

Persuasive:

A total solar eclipse is an annual phenomenon. A total solar eclipse can only be seen in the same
place once every 300 years or more. This phenomenon is even more special because its duration
is the shortest compared to annular and partial solar eclipses. A total solar eclipse only lasts 10
seconds to 7.5 minutes. So, if there is an opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse safely, then
don't miss it. Because, based on expert measurements, the distance between the Moon and the
Earth is getting further apart, the eclipse phenomenon will occur in about a billion years, and a
total solar eclipse will not even occur again.
