∙ 13y agoThe occurrence of a lunar eclipse only depends on the alignment of the earth and moon
with respect to the sun ... all three are collinear with the earth in the middle. It's not
related to any other body or place in the solar system.

and the sun about 390 times as far from it in one direction, as the moon is
in the opposite direction.

What are the 2 shadows produced during eclipse?
They are the penumbra (think of a large circle) and the umbra (think of a small, darker circle in the center of the large circle). People who have the penumbra only pass over them see a partial eclipse. People who have the umbra pass over them see a total eclipse.
What do people in the penumbra see during an eclipse?
People in the penumbra of an eclipse see a partial eclipse.
Is the moon closer during an annular eclipse?
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
What is the white halo called during the solar eclipse?
The white halo that can be seen during the Solar Eclipse is the Sun's Corona.
When is the moon nearest to the Earth during its orbit?
During an eclipse
Which is the correct position from the center of the solar system of the sun earth and moon during a solar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is the result of the Moon moving into the Earth's shadow, so the Earth would be directly between the Sun and the Moon.
what is the correct position from the center of the solar system of the sun earth and moon during a lunar eclipse?
Don't worry about the "center of the solar system". That's just the sun anyway. During a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up along the same straight line, in just that order. The Moon is directly 'behind' the Earth, so it's in the Earth's shadow.

Where is the earth in a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon is in Earth's shadow, so the position of Earth, of course, is between the Moon and the Sun.
What is the correct order during a lunar eclipse?
during a lunar eclipse, earth, sun and moon are in a straight line, First it's the sun, then earth, and last the moon.
What is the position of the sun moon and earth during a luner eclipse?
the earth is orbiting around the moon and earth
Why does it have to be a full moon during a lunar eclipse?
because when an eclipse takes place the moon, sun, and earth have to be lined up directly. and in this position the moon is full. in a solar eclipse the moon would be new
Why does a lunar eclipse occur during the full moon?
A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.
How does the position of the moon during a solar eclipse differ from the position of the moon during a lunar eclipse?
Taking the Sun, Moon, and Earth, all three of them are lined up, with their centers pretty close to the same straight line, at the time of any eclipse. -- At the time of a solar eclipse, the Moon is the one in the 'middle'. -- At the time of a lunar eclipse, the Earth is the one in the 'middle'. I say 'middle', because the Sun is still 390 times farther from Earth than the Moon is, all the time.
What is the relashonship between the sun the moon and the earth during a solar eclipse?
The center of the moon is within a few thousand miles of the straight line between the center of the sun and the center of the earth.
What is the only thing that can be studied during a solar eclipse?
You can study the gravitational force the sun excerts on light of other stars by comparing their position in daytime during the eclipse and a night. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was proved in this way.
Does solar power work during an eclipse?
It would during a solar eclipse, but probably not during a lunar eclipse.
