Why don’t planets like Venus eclipse the Sun?
Venus does come between Earth and the Sun at times, but its size is too small to block the Sun completely. It is a coincidence that the Moon and the Sun appear to have the same size from the Earth, although their sizes are very different in reality. This coincidence makes the solar eclipse a wonderful spectacle. Get your Nickgoggles Nick, the kids’ channel invites all kids to join in and witness the Solar Eclipse! Since it is not safe to view the eclipse with your naked eye; Nick gives its viewers really funky and cool “Nickgoggles” with a special safe filter to look directly at the ‘diamond ring’ that the sun and moon form.
