This time as you enter the classroom, you see a miniture sun with the earth orbiting around it as the moon orbits around the earth. You also notice that while the earth is striaght out from the sun, the moon seems to go up and down in it's orbit. Interesting. Hazelle is looking over her notes as you enter. "Hello," says she, "grab a cup of tea and bisquit if you're interested before taking your seats." She smiles and stands as the class fills up. | |

Erinelle sipped from her tea and thought about it, looking at the model. She smiled warmly at Kat and turned back to the rotating model, she then picked up her quill, set her mug down and dipped the quill in the ink.

Jacques sipped his tea as the others answered the question. In the hand that wasn't holding the cup of tea, he held a quill, ready to take notes if anything important was said.

Hazelle nodded at each answer as it was said, "Exactly, the Earth has one style of orbit and the moon another. What is this area," she removed the moon and 'filled in' the area between the earth and sun, "called?"

Emily had no idea. They had studied the solar system in her Muggle school, but she didn't remember hearing anything about the name for this space.

Emily quietly said "It could be simply 'space' I suppose." She didn't think the answer could be that simple, but it was definitely correct.

"I don't know about the name of the space, but the planets within that space are known as the interior planets" Jacques said carefully.

Erinelle had no clue what so ever, she shrugged and wrote down the other sensible ideas and suggestions.

"Not what I was looking for, but also correct, have a point, Jacques." She pointed once more to the empty area between the sun and earth, then traced along the outer line. "This is the earth's orbit, this inside, is called the ecliptic plane." She put the moon back into the image and allowed them to continue on their orbital paths. "Notice how the moon smoothly transitions between being above and below the plane, much like and amusment park ride. So, every so often, the moon comes close to the ecliptic plane. Can anyone tell me what those spots are called?"

Emily was surprised. She didn't think anyone had even heard her answer. But she was very happy she had earned points. She took a stab at the next question, but was pretty sure it was incorrect.
"Is it a lunar eclipse?"

Erinelle raised her hand "Is it a full moon or lunar Eclipse?" She said.

Dis's hand shot up, sure that she knew the answer this time. "The periapsis the point where the moon and earth are closest to each other and the apoapsis is the point in which they are furthest apart."

"That wouldn't be an eclipse, would it?" Jacques said. He knew he was probably wrong, but hey, he got a point before for saying something.

Bucky grimaced and eyed her tea cup. She was very far off from the correct answer but she wasn't about to be discouraged. However, she wasn't about to try and answer this one so she simply wrote down the correct answer of the previous question and waited for the class to continue and glanced Jacques way wondering when he became so smart.

Serena furrowed her brow as the first question was asked and answered. That was a toughie. Raising her hand, she tried for the next. "Is it a lunar node?"

The nodes, do, however, cause, or help to cause rather, the eclipses. Can someone tell me when they would happen?"
