What is the astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another?
"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.
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.
Occurs when light from the sun is cut off?
In such a case, assuming Earth survives at all until then, it won't be able to support any life. (Note that before this happens, the Sun will get so hot that it will destroy any life on Earth.)
When our view of an object is blocked by either another object or by the earth's shadow?
Occultation.

What happens when one object is in the shadow of another?
its in the shadow of another
What is one object in space casting a shadow on another?
A shadow cast on one object in space on another is ECLIPSE
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 occurs when one object passes through the shadow of another?
If you move the light source closer to the abject, the object will get bigger. =^w^= ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The size of the object does not change. What kind of a retard are you.

What happens to your shadow if you stand in the lights of a tree's shadow?
A tree's shadow does not have light. Anytime you are in the shadow of another object your body has no shadow of its own.
What causes the shape of a shadow to change?
when you change the object that creates the shadow by blocking the light, its' shadow will change. or there is another light source shining from a different direction on the object will affect the shadow too.
How do you find volume of eclipse?
An eclipse is usually an astronomical phenomenon whereby one object comes between the observer and another object, or casts its shadow so as to conceal another object. For example, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the observer and the sun. There is no volume to be measured in these circumstances. One possible alternative is that you meant an ellipse. But even that does not work because an ellipse is a 2-dimensional shape and 2-d shapes do not have volumes.
what causes shadow length?
The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
