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.

Why does the eclipse shadow move across Earth during a solar eclipse?

The eclipse shadow moves across Earth during a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. As the Earth rotates and the Moon orbits around it, this shadow travels in a specific path, creating the observable phenomenon of a solar eclipse in different locations. The relative positions and motions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun determine the trajectory of the shadow. Thus, the movement of the eclipse shadow is a result of these celestial dynamics.

How many geographical degrees minutes and seconds longitude does the suns shadow travel in one minute or one second?

The Sun does not have a shadow, objects have shadows cast by the Sun. During a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon travels at varying speeds during different portions of the eclipse (at the beginning and end when the shadow of the moon just has touched the Earth or is about to drop off into space the shadow moves much faster than in the middle near maximum eclipse). The 'Terminator' (the line dividing the illuminated part of the Earth from the part in shadow) travels at 0,25° per minute across the globe.
