Why is solar energy prevented from reaching the moon during a solar eclipse?
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
What are the three are the main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth?
The three main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth are the distance between the Earth and the Sun, the angle at which the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface (known as the solar angle), and the amount of atmosphere the sunlight has to travel through before reaching the Earth's surface. These factors determine the intensity and distribution of solar energy received by different parts of the Earth.

What would happen to the amount of energy received from the Sun if the rotation of the Earth changed?
Nothing. Provided the earth remains in the same orbit, then a change of rotation would not change the amount of solar energy reaching the earth.
