On May 16, 2010, people in most regions in the world have seen a very rare natural
phenomenon. It was Venus eclipse. It was very rare amazing natural event. It was reported
that the Venus eclipse will seen again in the future in 2050. Do you know how this rare
Venus eclipse happens?
Well, actually Venus eclipse is like Sun eclipse. Venus eclipse occurs when the
position of the earth, moon and Venus is parallel. Venus planet will slowly disappear for a
moment because it is covered the surface of the Moon. Venus planet seems to move to the
back side of the Moon.
The moon and planets are sharing a similar apparent path in the sky. That is why, it is not
unusual for the moon to appear to pass close to Venus. In fact, the moon appears somewhere
near it about once a month. However, most people don’t see these events because they are
visible in the evening sky only half the time, and then only for a short period after sunset. The
apparent closeness varies from month to month as well.

Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer
or dry season while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these
seasons change?
Seasons happen and change every year. This happens because the earth tilts back and
forth as it goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun. It makes
half of the earth hotter. This condition is what we call summer. During the other half of the
year, the earth tilts away from the sun. As a result, it makes that half of the earth cooler. This
cool condition is then what we call winter.
The different parts of the world have the same season at different times. In the
northern half of the world, winter happens during the months of December, January, and
February. The regions are such North America and Europe. On the other hand, the southern
half of the world has winter during the months of June and August. The regions are like
South America and Australia. How does this difference happen? The same season happens at
different times because the top and the bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at
different times.
