the moon covers the sun so from earth you cant see the sun.
In a solar eclipse, the moon comes between the sun and the earth so that the sun is blocked out. A lunar eclipse is when the earth comes in between the moon and the sun so that the moon is blocked out.
In a solar eclipse the moon passes between the earth on the sun, casting a shadow on earth. People in the shadow will see the sun as partially or completely blocked.
A lunar eclipse is where the Earth comes between the moon and sun, so that light to the moon is blocked out by Earths shadow. A solar eclipse is where the moon comes between the sun and Earth, blocking out sunlight to the Earth.
Solar Eclipse: There is a new moon. The sun is blocked out by the moon for some time. Lunar Eclipse: There is a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The reflective light of the moon is blocked by the Earth.
Solar Eclipse
A lunar eclipse is where the Earth comes between the moon and sun, so that light to the moon is blocked out by Earths shadow. A solar eclipse is where the moon comes between the sun and Earth, blocking out sunlight to the Earth.
They are alike because they both cast shadows. A lunar eclipse is when the moon is blocked by the sun while a solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked by the moon.
In that case, a Solar Eclipse occurs. It can be a partial or total eclipse depending on the positions at the time of the eclipse. In total Solar Eclipses, the sun is completely blocked out for a short time in some parts of the world. Likewise, Earth's shadow falling on the Moon is known as a lunar eclipse.
That's a solar eclipse. If you are in a place where the sun appears partly blocked, then you experience a 'partial' solar eclipse. If you are in a place where the sun appears completely blocked, then you experience a 'total' solar eclipse.
It was the first solar eclipse the moon blocked out the sun
the sun is blocked out in a solar eclipse so it is more noticeable than a lunar eclipse where only the moon is blocked out
A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth's surface. This can result in a total solar eclipse where the sun is completely obscured, or a partial solar eclipse where only part of the sun is blocked.
