What occurs when an object in space gets between the sun and another object?

This is the definition of an eclipse. If the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a direct line, the shadow of the Moon can fall on the Earth, or the shadow of the Earth can fall on the Moon.
When the shadow of the Moon falls on the Earth, it creates a moving shadow region called a solar eclipse. If the shadow is not directly aligned, it can create a "partial solar eclipse", which also occurs in the adjacent regions to either side of the complete shadow path during a total solar eclipse.
When the Earth partially darkens the Moon, it is called a lunar eclipse. The sunlight is refracted by Earth's atmosphere, allowing some light to still reach the Moon, giving it a reddish color. An eclipse that does not cover the entire lunar face is called a "partial lunar eclipse".

"occultation".
It may also change the direction of the light, and briefly make it appear brighter (gravitational lensing).
Comment: I doubt that gravitational lensing would occur in this type of case.

∙ 14y agoit is called a total solar ellipse because the moon is covering all of the sun
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe event is known as an "occultation". The result is that the far distant star is temporarily not visible.

to be at just the place on Earth where the end of the moon's shadow falls.

What causes an eclipses and why?
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
What is path rolled by an object in space as it goes around another object?
The path is the orbit
What is a object that and oacuterbits another object un space?
What is a large round object that movies around a star such as the sun
Movement of one object in its object in its orbit around another object in space?
Well it is orbiting and it is caused by gravity, centripetal and centrifugal forces
When you touch something with your finger is real touch means no space between finger and object?
Right. There would be no space between your finger and the object in question, in order to touch. Sort of like if Deanie Etcetera put her finger on Mitch Longley's... face, there would be no space between Deanie's finger and Mitch face. Answer: All object include molecules have space between them physics theory about 5 rings instead molecules and nucleus.
What is the name for when the gravitational forces for an object in space are balanced?
The object is said to be weightless. If this occurs between the earth and the moon, the point where this occurs is called the null point.
What is it when a object in space blocks out another object in space?
It is called an eclipse.
Why and How do eclipses occur?
An eclipse occurs when one object in space is in the shadow of another. For example, in a solar eclipse, the Earth is in the shadow of the Moon. That is, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth and all three are lined up.
What occurs when an energy source transfers heat directly to another object through space an example would be an object becoming warm by sitting in the sunshine?
The answer to this question would be radiation.
Any space object that orbits another space object is called a?
Satellite.
What is one object in space casting a shadow on another?
A shadow cast on one object in space on another is ECLIPSE
What causes an eclipses and why?
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
Shadow cast by one object in space on another?
The shadow that is casted by one object in space on another is called an Eclipse.
What is an object object that revolves around another object?
Any object that revolves around another object in space is called a satilite.
What is an object that revolves around another object in space?
A satellite.
An object traveling around another object in space is in?
orbit
Is an object that revolves around another object in space?
A satellite.
