What is a lighter part of a shadow?
Lunar eclipse: Earth makes the shadow; the moon passes through it.Earth's shadow is large enough to darken the shole moon at the same time.Solar eclipse: Moon makes the shadow; earth passes through it.Moon's shadow is not large enough to darken the whole earth at the same time ...it causes only a small dark spot, that moves along the surface as the earth turns.
Why does the shading of the direct light of the sun cause the lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow. Earth always has a shadow, which is created by the Sun. On those rare occasions when the Moon, Earth and the Sun are all lined up just right, the Moon passes through this shadow.This would happen every full moon if the Moon orbited around the Earth in the same plane as the Earth orbits around the Sun.
What did the first rocket have to over come to get in to space?
The first rocket had to overcome Earth's gravity to reach space. It needed to generate enough thrust to propel itself upward and break free from the pull of gravity, allowing it to reach the necessary speed to enter into Earth's orbit.
What must a rocket overcome in order to reach orbit?
If you want something to orbit the earth, then you have to throw it at superhuman speed. Actually, on roller coasters, you sometimes feel like you are floating out of your seat. If it wasn't for your seatbelt, you could've orbited the earth!
If the moon is relatively far from the earth so that its umbra does not reach earth someone directly behind the umbra will see what?
They would see an annular (ring shaped) eclipse of the sun. The Sun's photosphere (the really bright part) is visible all the way around the moon.(these do happen on the surface of the Earth)

Are mines deep enough to reach the mantle?
No, mines are not deep enough to reach the Earth's mantle. The Earth's mantle is located about 25 miles beneath the Earth's surface, while most mines only reach depths of a few miles.
In a lunar eclispe the Earth is between the moon and what?
the earth is between the moon and the sun. so that the solar light cant reach the moon that is in the earth's shadow, and becomes dark.
Does the sun's heat reach Earth?
yes that is why it is warm enough to support life on earth. Also that is why people get sun burned.
What are the release dates for A Shadow's Reach - 2012?
A Shadow's Reach - 2012 was released on: USA: 15 September 2012 (Denton, Texas)
Is a total solar eclipse visible from all spotes on earth?
No. The moon is so small that by the time its shadow reaches the earth, it has tapered down considerably. (Sometimes the shadow doesn't even reach all the way to earth; that's when the solar eclipse is 'annular'.) Best case, the moon's shadow is a spot on the earth about 120 miles across. The longest that any one place on earth can be in it (longest view of totality) is about 7-1/2 minutes, until the shadow moves away from where you're standing.
Where does all the shadows lit with the sun go?
To answer this, you must first understand that a SHADOW and LIGHT are two different things. Light is what is given off by the sun, for example, and is something you can see. When there is no light, you see a shadow. So, when you look at a shadow, you are actually looking at a place where there is not enough light, so it appears dark. When the sun gives off light to, say, the Earth, the side that isn't facing the sun doesn't receive light, so the entire area is covered in a giant shadow (the side that doesn't receive light is experiencing night time). If you were on another planet that faced the dark side of earth, you wouldn't be able to see it mostly because you would be facing the shadow, not the lit region. So, why doesn't the earth cast a shadow? You must remember that the sun is VERY large and VERY bright - bright enough to shed light on even the farthest planets in our solar system. The sun releases light waves - long rays of light energy that travel in every direction away from the sun. Light rays have the ability to bend, too, if they have enough room to do so. The earth is ridiculously small compared to the sun, so, even though the earth should cast a shadow, the light rays are powerful enough that, by the time they reach your eyes, they are powerful enough and bend enough to illuminate the area the earth is blocking. If you don't understand it, try this: Turn on a flash light and face it toward a wall. Pretend the flashlight is the sun. Hold up one finger in front of the light beam. Make sure to keep your finger closer to the flashlight than to the wall. Your finger casts a shadow across the wall. Even though there is a shadow, you can still see the wall - the shadow is not entirely black. This is because, in the space between your finger and the wall, the light had enough room to bend and light up the shadow a bit. Now try moving your finger closer to the wall. The shadow gets darker, because now the light doesn't have enough room to bend and light up that area. I hope you understand because there is one last point we need to cover: If you are on a planet, like Mars, you won't see Earth's shadow because the light bent around it and lit it up. If you are on a space ship, however, and are close enough to the earth, the light won't bend enough to reach your eyes, and you'll see the dark side of the earth, and it will cast a shadow on you as well. You must also remember that space isn't something you can touch - space is actually nothingness (not to be confused with air, because air is a gas. Wave your hand around right now - you're waving it through the air. There's actually stuff around you right now, but space doesn't even have air!). Since you can't cast a shadow on NOTHINGNESS, you won't find a shadow of the earth floating in space - you'll only see a shadow on something that is actually there, like on a planet or space ship. In short, the shadows the sun makes disappear over a long distance because light waves bend over the shadow and light it up anyway. So, there's you answer.

The space behind an opaque object where light doesn't reach?
shadow
Why do S waves not come to the surface beyond the shadow zone?
S waves do not pass through Earth's liquid outer core, which causes a shadow zone on the opposite side of the Earth from an earthquake. The liquid outer core absorbs and blocks S waves, preventing them from reaching the surface beyond the shadow zone.
Does the earth or sun cast a shodow on the moon?
The sun is the big flashlight that lights up everything it can reach. The earth is the thing that gets in the way of the flashlight, & can darken the moon if the moon passes through its shadow.
What term is used to indicate the region where no earthquake waves reach Earth's surface?
Shadow zone is the term used to indicate the region where no earthquake waves reach Earth's surface. This area occurs beyond 105 degrees from the epicenter of an earthquake.
