What else can I help you with?
Where on earth do you need to be standing to see a solar eclipse?
In the shadow of the Moon.
If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?
If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.
When a person experiences the third stage eclipse or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
Because the moon is small compared to the Earth, the shadow it casts isn't very large. The small size of the shadow and the rotation of the Earth mean that where you need to be to see a solar eclipse is very specific and changes from eclipse to eclipse. To see the next total solar eclipse, you'll have to travel to Northeastern Australia or North New Zealand on November 13, 2012. Good luck!
A person standing in the moon's what would see a particle solar eclipse?
A person standing on the moon would see a partial solar eclipse when the Earth partially blocks the Sun's light. This is because the Earth's size in the moon's sky would be large enough to create this effect, similar to how the Moon creates a solar eclipse on Earth.
If you can see a lunar eclipse are you standing in the Moon's umbra or penumbra?
If a lunar eclipse is in progress, the moon is in the earth's shadow. If any part of the moon becomes almost as dark as the space around it, then that part of the moon is in the umbra of the shadow. If you can see the lunar eclipse, then you are on the night side of the earth. I guess that means you're also in the umbra of the shadow, because you can't see the sun at all.
If your standing in the penumbra what type of eclipse will you see?
You're on exactly the right track, and you're thinking exactly right.But it's not exactly the "moon's" penumbra ... it's the penumbra ofthe moon's shadow.
Where is a person standing if they experience a total solar eclipse?
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
Would a person standing in the Moon's would see a total solar eclipse?
Yes, a person standing on the Moon would see a total solar eclipse if they were positioned in the right spot during a lunar eclipse. From the Moon's perspective, the Earth would pass directly in front of the Sun, creating a total eclipse. However, because the Moon has no atmosphere, the view would be stark and dramatic, with the Earth appearing as a dark disk silhouetted against the bright solar corona. This phenomenon is distinct from how we experience solar eclipses from Earth.
How much of the sun would you see if you were standing in the umbra?
If you are standing in the umbra, you would see none of the Sun. The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow during an eclipse, where the light from the Sun is completely blocked by an object, such as the Moon during a solar eclipse. In this region, the Sun is entirely obscured, creating a total eclipse effect.
Occurrence of a solar eclipse is a periodic or non periodic change?
The occurrence of a solar eclipse is periodic due to the cyclical alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon in a way that results in the Moon casting a shadow on the Earth. Solar eclipses happen in predictable patterns and can be forecasted far into the future based on the orbits of celestial bodies.
Why do you not see a lunar eclipse when the moon is full?
You see a lunar eclipse ONLY if the Moon enters Earth's shadow.
How much of the sun would you see if you were standing in the umba?
If you are standing in the umbra during a solar eclipse, you would see none of the sun. The umbra is the innermost and darkest part of the shadow cast by the moon, where the sun is completely obscured. This results in a total eclipse, where the sun is entirely hidden from view.
