While some of this writing was clear and concise, in other parts the illustrations do not clearly explain the concepts. Several more complicated concepts are introduced but not explained sufficiently for the audience.
For example, it shows how a small part of the Earth sees a total solar eclipse because it falls in the dark shadow called an umbra. But it does not explain the illustration or say why this shadow forms differently from the lighter penumbra shadow.
