If the Earth is blocking the Sun from your point of view, it may be behind a mountain - or below the horizon. In the latter case, we say that it is night.
the moon moves between the earth and the sun, temporarily blocking the sunlight to the earth.
The moon, Earth, and sun line up. We, Earth, see the moon in front of the sun, blocking it, and it forms a halo shape light.
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).
Lunar EclipseNodes is what occurs when the moon moves between the earth and sun. This is what blocks the light.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
A Solar eclipse. (ie- the moon blocking out light from the sun)
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
the first is a solar eclipse which happens when the moon passes in front of the sun blocking is view from earth. the second is a lunar eclipse which happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon blacking out the moon temporarily. this is merely the earth casting its shadow on the moon as the earth orbits between the sun and moon.
No, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. A solar eclipse, on the other hand, happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. These events cannot occur simultaneously as they involve different alignments of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
Earth protects by blocking UV rays. These are harmful rays of the sun.
