Chapter 1938

Xia Yuanqiu answered: "You mean, a solar eclipse occurs once every seven years?"

Wen Cheng nodded: "It seems so at the moment, and it will be on a certain day in midsummer, maybe July, maybe August, just in these two months."

Xia Yuanqiu also said: "As far as I know, most solar eclipses occur on Shuo Ri, that is, the first day of the lunar calendar. Today is the 28th of July. That is to say, there are still two days left before we may see a solar eclipse!"

Wen Cheng wondered: "How do you know that the solar eclipse will happen on the new moon? Could it be other days?"

Xia Yuanqiu secretly scolded himself for being fast-talking, and said with a quick smile: "It's not that it can't be other days, but most of them are on this day."

"Most? How many solar eclipses have you seen?" Wen Cheng continued to post.

Xia Yuanqiu secretly wiped his sweat: "It's not that I've seen it, but someone from the past has seen it. They recorded the days when the solar eclipse occurred, and made a deduction calculation, and found that the probability of a solar eclipse occurring on the new moon is much higher than that of other days. son."

Wen Cheng asked again: "Who is this predecessor you are talking about? Does he know what a solar eclipse is? How is a solar eclipse formed and why does it happen?"

Xia Yuanqiu naturally knows how the solar eclipse occurs and why there is a solar eclipse phenomenon. It can be said that everyone in the 21st century knows it, but how can she explain it to Wen Cheng?

After thinking about it, she simply explained to him that if an astronomy idiot like Wen Cheng didn't explain clearly, he would definitely go crazy.

"That's right, I'm inconvenient about who that predecessor is. You know, some people don't like to be famous, and don't want people to know his existence. He did mention how the solar eclipse was formed. If you If you want to know, I can tell you in detail!"

Wen Cheng nodded quickly: "Of course I want to know, tell me quickly!"

Xia Yuanqiu pointed to the sun in the sky, and said: "You should also know that the sun is actually a sphere, a very big sphere, which emits light and heat, and the place where we are is the earth, and we rely on the sun. This big ball survives by the sunlight sent by it. In the vast universe, there are many such spheres, called planets. The earth, the sun, and the moon are just one of them. Like the sun and the moon, the earth It is also constantly rotating and running, according to the established space-time orbit, continuously, without a moment of stopping, the formation of a solar eclipse is when the moon, the sun and the earth happen to travel on a straight line , the moon will block the light from the sun to the earth, and the black shadow behind the moon just falls on our earth, forming a scene of no light and no sky, but this is only a short moment, because three This planet is still in constant motion, and the formation of a straight line is only a temporary stay, and the light will soon be restored."

Wen Cheng was taken aback when he heard it. This was the first time he heard such a bold idea since he entered the industry.

Wen Cheng asked: "These assumptions of yours are really shocking!"

Xia Yuanqiu shook his head: "What I'm talking about is not a hypothesis, but a fact, a real fact, a real fact, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Wen Cheng was surprised: "So you mean, all of us actually live on a big ball?"

Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "That's right, it's just a ball. You stand here and look at the distant stars in the sky. Have you ever thought that in fact, on other planets, there are people or some kind of creatures looking at them in the same way? You? In your eyes, is that distant star a ball?"
