PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!! GUYSSS!! I AM IN CLASS AND DYING! LITERALLY
Billy and Ashley live in the same time zone. Billy lives in Brazil (blue smiley face on the image below). Ashley lives in Eastern Canada (yellow smiley face on the image below).
One day, Billy and Ashley are both outside at 1:32 pm. They are talking on the phone to each other. As they talk, Billy notices the sky in Brazil getting progressively darker. Eventually, it feels like it is nighttime, because it is so dark. Billy thinks the world is coming to an end. He asks Ashley if she is experiencing the same thing in Canada. Ashley has no idea what he is talking about. “It’s perfectly bright and sunny where I am,” she says.
Ashley and Billy conclude that the world is not coming to an end. They reach out to some 7th graders to figure out what is happening. The 7th graders tell Billy that he is experiencing a solar eclipse. To help Billy and Ashley understand, create a model to show why Billy is experiencing an eclipse in Brazil, but Ashley is not experiencing the eclipse in Canada.
Your model must include:
The sun, the earth, the moon, and solar energy (clearly labeled).
How accurate your scale is.
How solar energy interacts with both the moon and with Earth.
The tilt of the moon’s orbit relative to the Earth’s orbit
Why Billy is experiencing the solar eclipse and why Ashley is not.
