Since the Moon is quite a bit smaller than Earth, the Moon's shadow can only cover part of Earth's surface. In that case, the people in that shadow will see a solar eclipse.


What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?

earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons

Yes. The Earth's shadow "eclipses" the Moon. You can still see the Moon in the shadow, but it's redder and darker. Incidentally, only Full Moons can be eclipsed.


How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?

Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.


Why do moon have shadows?

Moons have shadows due to the blocking of sunlight by the moon itself when it passes between the sun and another celestial body, such as a planet. This creates a shadow on the surface of the planet or other bodies in space. Additionally, the moon casts a shadow on its own surface during events like lunar eclipses when it enters the Earth's shadow. Shadows on moons can also occur from the light of other celestial bodies being obstructed.
