During a solar eclipse.
In Soviet Russia, moon cast shadow on you!
Yes, the moon can cast a shadow. During a lunar eclipse, when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, the Earth's shadow is cast onto the surface of the moon, causing it to temporarily darken.
It is called a solar eclipse. And when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon, it is called a lunar eclipse.
A solar Eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun and a shadow is cast on the earth.
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
No, the shadow of the moon is not always long enough to reach the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth is limited to a specific region where the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows for the shadow to be cast on the Earth's surface.
The shadow is cast by the earth upon the moon.
Becausec the Moon is nearer the Sun than the Earth at New Moon.
The Earth's shadow is cast on the moon during a lunar eclipse when the Earth is between the sun and the moon. The shadow can be seen as the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, creating a reddish tint on the lunar surface.
