There are two main shadows that Earth projects; one is called the 'umbra', which is the complete shadow where all direct light is blocked out, the other is the 'penumbra', which is a partial shadow. The effect is similar to standing in front of a light source and seeing both a dark shadow in the middle (the umbra) and a lighter shadow on the outer edge (the penumbra). During this eclipse the Moon will pass through both shadows.
No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
When the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow on the Moon, creating a lunar eclipse. When the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, it casts a shadow on the Earth, creating a solar eclipse.
The phenomenon of the moon casting its shadow on Earth is called a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth passes in between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon to move into Earth's shadow.
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 answer is A
Because the moon comes between the sun and Earth, casting the moon's shadow on Earth.
No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
An eclipse. When the Earth is in the Moon's shadow, it's a solar eclipse; when the Moon is in the Earth's shadow, it's a lunar eclipse.
When the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow on the Moon, creating a lunar eclipse. When the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, it casts a shadow on the Earth, creating a solar eclipse.
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
The shadow of the Earth on the moon's surface is the reason that it takes different phases. When the Earth completely occludes the moon, it is a new moon, and when there is no shadow, it is a full moon.
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It's shadow can't cover the entire Earth.The Moon is much smaller than the Earth.

When the Earth's shadow hits the Moon that is an eclipse of the Moon. When the Moons shadow hits the earth that is an eclipse of the Sun.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is in Earth's shadow.
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 answer is A
