  1. May 16, 2023The eight sets of problems in this section of the Year of the Solar System guide help students understand the difference between transits, eclipses and occultations. Students use mathematical concepts such as scale drawings, tangents, proportions, geometry, fractions and modeling to understand these terms in space science.

    The videos can be used across disciplines and within contained classrooms. This includes all K-12 settings (not just science classrooms). The videos can be used in science classrooms to promote science inquiry around eclipses, occultations, and transits, three astronomical phenomena involving alignments and shadows.

    eclipses, of a sort, in planetary systems outside our own! When a planet around a distant star passes between that star and Earth, it blocks out a tiny bit of light, resulting in a mini-eclipse. This event, called a transit, can be observed all the way from Earth. Transits are one of the ways scientists search for

    A transit "is the passage of a relatively small body across the disk of a larger body, usually a star or a planet, occulting only a very small area."[1] Transits are different than an eclipse which is caused by either a transit or an occultation.An eclipse is the result of the shadow caused by the obscuration of the passing bodies. A fully obscured view is called an occultation.
