What else can I help you with?
Are the earth sun and the moon the same sizes?
No!
What is a partial solar?
If you mean a partial solar eclipse, it is when the moon covers part of the sun as opposed to a total eclipse when the moon covers it all. Coincidentally because of their relitive sizes and distances the sun and moon appear the same size in the sky
What is the angular size of the Sun and the Moon in order for solar eclipses to occur?
* For a solar eclipse, there is no specific requirement about the angular sizes.* For a TOTAL solar eclipse, the angular diameter of the Moon must be larger than that of the Sun.
Why does the moon appear the same size as the sun during a total solar eclipse?
During a total solar eclipse, the moon appears the same size as the sun because of a coincidence in their relative distances and sizes. The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also about 400 times closer to Earth than the sun. This alignment causes the moon to perfectly cover the sun, creating the illusion that they are the same size in the sky.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere during a solar eclipse due to a coincidence in their apparent sizes from Earth's perspective. The sun is much larger than the moon, but it is also much farther away, making them appear similar in size when viewed from Earth.
How is the moon able to block the sun if it is so much smaller?
The moon can block the sun despite being much smaller because it is much closer to Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows the moon to cover the sun's disk from certain vantage points on Earth, creating the effect of the sun being blocked. This phenomenon is a result of the relative sizes and distances of the celestial bodies involved.
What does a total solar eclipse tell us about the sizes of the sun and the moon related to their distances from earth?
It tells us they have just about the same angular size, so the Sun must be about as much further away than the Moon as it is bigger than the Moon (because that's how trigonometry works).
How many moons can fit across the sun?
The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.
During a full moon where is the sun?
During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.
Is the sun and moon rocky?
the moon is but the sun is not
What happens when the moon passess between the sun an earth?
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
