What happens during total lunar eclipse?
The Sun is bright, and the Earth is a rock about 8,000 miles across. So the Earth casts a shadow out into space. The Moon orbits the Earth, and about twice a year the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow. We call this a "lunar eclipse".
What do you call the dark shadow caused by the moon on the earth?
The dark shadow caused by the moon on Earth is called the umbra during a solar eclipse.
What do you call it when we are in the moons shadow?
When we are in the Moon's shadow, it is called a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth. This phenomenon can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.
What do you call the dark shadow cast by the earth on the moon during lunar eclipse?
The dark shadow cast by the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is called the umbra. This is the central and darkest part of the shadow where the light from the Sun is completely blocked.
What do you call the eclipse where the moon passes through earth's penury?
lunar eclipse
What do you call something that is obvious or visible?

What happens when the moon passes entirely into the earths umbra?
"Umbra" means "shadow". When the Moon enters the Earth's shadow, we call that a "total lunar eclipse".
What is it called when the moon is not visible do to the earths shadow?
Ah, what a lovely question! When the moon is not visible due to the Earth's shadow, we call it a lunar eclipse. It's a magical dance of light and shadows in the sky, creating a beautiful moment to appreciate the wonders of our universe. Just imagine the peaceful beauty of the moon slowly being covered and then revealed again by the Earth's shadow.
What do astronomers call an eclipse's alignment?
It is a syzygy.
What is a lunar eclipse on the moon?
A partial or total obscuring of the moon by the earth's shadow. Are you asking "If we are on the moon, what would a lunar eclipse be?" In that case, it would be something like what we call a solar eclipse, but it would be the earth obscuring the sun. I think it might more properly be called an occultation; the earth doesn't perfectly block the sun, it literally blots it out (in the case of a total lunar eclipse) for a while until it emerges from the other edge or limb of the earth.
Why is the sun so bright during a solar eclipse?
Oh, the sun during a solar eclipse is just a magical sight, isn't it? You see, the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, creating what we call an eclipse. This blocks out the majority of sunlight, leaving just a narrow ring or a "diamond ring" effect - only a tiny, dazzling bit of the sun's brilliance peeking through. It's a breathtaking moment to witness the beauty of our universe at work.
What do you call a phenomenon much like a solar eclipse but it happens at night when the moon is orange?
A lunar eclipse.
