Lunar craters that are relatively young exhibit?
Young lunar craters exhibit many features, but the most prominent is "rays". These are streaks of light colored debris that spread radially outward from the impact crater. The Tycho Crater is the classic example.
What are lunar rays are the same age as?
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
What are lunar rays?
Lunar rays are bright bands of material thrown out very large distances from impact craters on the Moon. They are also seen on other planets, notably Mercury. They are thought to represent ejected material with a high level of iron oxide and similar materials.
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
A Lunar Eclipse
How does a solar eclipse compare to a lunar?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This is a Solar: And this a Lunar:

What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
What is the lunar ecplise?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow. The moon passes behind the earth and prevents the sun's rays from striking the moon. There are three basic types of lunar eclipses: 1. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse - when the moon passes through the Earth's penumbral (outer) shadow. This type of eclipse is very subtle and difficult to notice. 2. Partial Lunar Eclipse - when part of the moon passes through the Earth's umbral (inner) shadow. This type of eclipse is easy to see. 3. Total Lunar Eclipse - then the entire moon passes through the Earth's umbral shadow. The moon turns a red hue. A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
Is it harmful to look into a lunar eclipse without protective eye wear?
OK so we all know not to look at Sun? Right? So Does it hurt you to look at the moon. You See The moon Is illuminated when Its Next to earth But a lunar eclipse Is when the moon Is behind earth blocking the moon from Shining. Look at the sun while A Lunar eclipse is happening. its cool But don't look into a solar eclipse because The rays are even stronger when the moon and Sun Are shining at the same time. So no its not harmful to look into a lunar eclipse without protective eye wear
Distinguish between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow and is blocked from the Sun's rays that normally illuminate it.A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in front of the sun, blocking the Sun's rays from an area of the earth's surface.solar=Moon shades a small area of the Earth. You see it only in the daytime, at new moon.lunar=Earth shades a large area of the Moon, or the entire Moon. You see it at night, and only at the moment of full moon.
When does does a lunar eclipse occur?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line with the Earth between the Sun and Moon. As such a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon. Between two and five eclipses occur each year across the globe, parted by approximately six months.During the 7-1/2 years from February 2008 until September 2015, there will be a total of 19 lunar eclipses -- 8 total, 5 partial, and 6 penumbral.That's an average of almost one lunar eclipse every 5 months.
