While it is good to let them explore in their own little ways, it is also important that parents are ready to answer their questions and explain to them some things that they may have a hard time grasping. Examples of such things are the different natural phenomena. Children will most likely be curious about the world outside of their home and all the things that they can see. After all, they are surrounded by nature wherever they go. No need to worry because we got your back! We listed down five natural phenomena that you can easily explain to your curious kids and start your fun discovery together. </p><div paraeid="{5d5d36dc-28df-42f3-8b22-58557e756ed6}{228}" paraid="3"> </div><ol role="list" start="1">	<li aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-font="" data-leveltext="%1." data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769242&quot;:[65533,0],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;%1.&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;multilevel&quot;}" data-listid="1" role="listitem">	<div paraeid="{5d5d36dc-28df-42f3-8b22-58557e756ed6}{236}" paraid="5"><strong>Solar Eclipse </strong></div>	</li></ol><p paraeid="{5d5d36dc-28df-42f3-8b22-58557e756ed6}{243}" paraid="6">Children might already be familiar with the moon, the planets, the sun, and other celestial bodies that they have come across. Teaching them one natural phenomenon where three celestial bodies look like they are colliding will be a cool discovery for them. In simple words, a solar eclipse is the event when the moon passes in between Earth and the sun and casts its shadow on Earth. This causes a black spot to be seen in the sky.
