If the size of the moon is decreased during a total solar eclipse, it would not fully cover the sun, resulting in a partial eclipse instead of a total eclipse. This would mean that the sun would not be completely blocked out, and the sky would not become as dark as it would during a total eclipse.
Also known as Annular, it would be a total Solar eclipse if the Moon were nearer the Earth at the time (the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle). The further the Moon is from the Earth, the smaller it appears and thus cannot completely cover the Sun.
A solar eclipse happens if the moon, in its orbit around the earth, is located in the direct line of sight from the earth to the sun. The effect would be that the moon blocks the view of the sun.
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. This alignment causes the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, resulting in a lunar eclipse.
No.
A solar eclipse of a Sun that was smaller but a Moon that is the same size and distance as our Moon would mean that eclipses would last longer, you would never get an annular eclipse, a larger area would experience each eclipse.
You would see the Sun being occulted by the Moon.
If you can see the Moon during a lunar eclipse, the Sun would usually be below the horizon. Apart from that, there is nothing special about the Sun during a lunar eclipse; looking at the Sun is just as dangerous as at any other time.
Eclipse of the sun
If there was no sun for 24 hours it would be like an ECLIPSE and also plants need sunlight so they would probably not survive.
The same thing that happens when you're on eartlh and you see a solar eclipse. The sun disappears for a few minutes or seconds and comes back. On earth, it would be called a lunar eclipse, where the earth comes between the sun and the moon. On the moon, it would look like a solar eclipse.
If the Sun's temperature were much colder and it were much smaller Earth would no longer support human life
Because the sun's light and heat is blocked during a solar eclipse, the air gets cooler.
If you look directly at the sun, whether there is an eclipse or not, you may suffer eye damage.
If the size of the moon is decreased during a total solar eclipse, it would not fully cover the sun, resulting in a partial eclipse instead of a total eclipse. This would mean that the sun would not be completely blocked out, and the sky would not become as dark as it would during a total eclipse.
For a eclipse you would need the earth, sun and the moon.A SOLAR ECLIPSE is where the sun is being obscured (hidden) by the moonwhen the sun is being obscured, it would get very dark outside, and the temperatures would drop.A LUNAR ECLIPSE is where the sun, earth and moon are aligned.
