Eclipses

An annular eclipse occurs when the moon is farther from the Earth, the disk of the moon does not completely cover the disk of the sun. The diamond ring affect occurs.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon is closer to the Earth, the moon appears to be the same size as the sun, and covers the disk of the sun completely.

Phase

First Quarter

Why does there appear to be more water at

high tide and less water at low tide?

Tides

The amount of water stays the same, but the water is displaced by the moon’s gravitational pull. When it’s high tide at the ocean your standing in, the water is displaced to that spot. When it’s low tide at the ocean your standing in, the way is being displaced to another spot on Earth.
