Lunar rays are bright bands of material thrown out very large distances from impact craters on the Moon. They are also seen on other planets, notably Mercury. They are thought to represent ejected material with a high level of iron oxide and similar materials.

What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
A Lunar Eclipse
What blocks the sun?
Clouds, buildings, sun block (cream or lotion applied to the skin). A solar eclipse, the moon blocks the suns rays from striking the Earth. Lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon.
How does the moon get different shapes?
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.
What is lunar ejecta?
lunar matter that shoots out of the lunar explosion that impacted the lunar moon and therefor ejected lunar ejecta
What is lunar means?
what is lunar means? what is lunar means? Lunar means "moon."
Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
A Lunar Eclipse
What eclipse does earth move between the sun and the moon blocking the suns rays from the moon?
That would be a lunar eclipse.
How does a solar eclipse compare to a lunar?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes behind the Earth so that the Earth blocks the Sun's rays from striking the Moon and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun. This is a Solar: And this a Lunar:

Lunar craters that are relatively young exhibit?
Young lunar craters exhibit many features, but the most prominent is "rays". These are streaks of light colored debris that spread radially outward from the impact crater. The Tycho Crater is the classic example.

What are lunar rays are the same age as?
The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.
How does the moon get different shapes?
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
What position does a lunar eclipse happen and why?
A lunar eclipse takes place when the sun and earth are aligned. The shadow casted from the earth when the sun's rays are direct with half of it then cover he entire moon. The thicker part of the shadow is called the umbra. The umbra is where the moon is covered completely. The penumbras are the thiner parts of the shadow spanning out larger than the moon. Ex: 0<- Sun-------->(rays) 0<-Earth------->(umbra) o<-moon
