lunar eclipse
lunar eclipse
During a tota lunar eclipse the Moon is in the Earth;s SHADOW. In a straight line in space, it is The SUN, the Earth, & the Moon. In a total solar eclipse, the straight line is The Sun, The Moon , & the Earth. Notice in the straight line , the Earth & the Moon 'swop' places.
The moon is simply a large lump of rock and therefore produces no light of its own. The moon is visible in the sky due to sunlight being reflected off the moon's surface, in fact on nights where there is a full or near full moon it can actually be bright enough to cast a shadow
the moon is always in the sky, but due to the earths rotation it cant be seen during the day.
It takes the moon 27.322 days to orbit the Earth. While the moon rotates, the moon also rotates. Due to this rotation, we always see the same side of the moon.

it is reflected or scattered due to albedo.

The visible light around the rough Moon surface during a solar eclipse is caled Baily's Beads.
the lastolmpic winter games will be held on the moon due to earths exposure to pollution
The centre of the earth is solid iron, however the centre of the earths gravitational pull changes, due to the movement of the moon, which has an effect on the earths gravity.

a solar eclipse, or a total solar eclipse if the sun is compleatly obscured.
The moon does not really change shape- its visible outline changes. This is due to the angle of sunlight falling on the moon in relation to the earth. If the sunlight is shining at a 90 degree angle from one side, then half the moon is illuminated and visible, half is dark.
The earths crust us thicker than the moons....due to the craters
