In making explanatory text we have to relate the cause and effect of an event. We are prioritized to find out how this can happen in this life.
—
All sequences in the explanatory text are composed of a single section. Starting from the identification of phenomena, describing a series of events, patterns of details why, patterns of details how, and reviews. Come on, try making an example explanatory text with its structure and parts!

Example 1 Title: Lunar Eclipse
—
1. General Statement (Opening)
—
A lunar eclipse can occur when part or all of the moon’s cross section is covered by the earth’s shadow. This event occurs when the sun and moon are on the same straight line. Sunlight cannot reach the moon because it is blocked by the earth.
—
In actual lunar events the moon is not completely covered, but can still be seen. This is because there is still sunlight that is deflected towards the moon by the earth’s atmosphere. The deflected light has a red spectrum, which is the reason why during a lunar eclipse, the moon’s appearance is not dark. The resulting color can be copper red, brown, and even orange.

3. Closing (Interpretation)
—
Please note, when the earth’s shadow covers part or all of the moon’s cross section, that is the cause of a lunar eclipse. Especially if the earth is between the sun and the moon on the same straight line.

1. General Statement (Opening)
—
A rainbow is an optical phenomenon in the form of a light that has a variety of parallel colors and appears in the sky. Usually the formation of rainbows occurs by the refraction of sunlight by water droplets. Many think that a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that appears as an arc of light with its tip pointing at the horizon at a time of light rain.

2. Rows of Descriptions (Content)
—
The formation of a rainbow is caused by light refracting and obscuring a particle. As the sun sets, the sky turns red because sunlight passing through the atmosphere is much thicker than when the sun is high in the sky during the day. That’s why rainbows don’t exist at night and appear after cloudy weather. Initially the sun passes through the raindrops which are then bent and refracted towards the center so that it separates the spectrum light from the white light.
—
3. Closing (Interpretation)
—
This unique phenomenon can only be seen after the rain with sun rays from the opposite side of the viewer. The position of the observer should be between the sun and impressed by the water with the sun behind the person. Light with the shortest wavelength like purple is on the curve and the longest wavelength like red is on the outside.
