Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon. Both types of eclipses can be observed by people on Earth under the right conditions.


Which of the following properties of light causes eclipses?

None. Eclipses are a result of the moons position relative to the earth and the sun. Solar and lunar are 2 different types of eclipses. Simply put an eclipse is the result of light from the sun being blocked by the moon from our perspective here on Earth.

This is known as a solar eclipse, where the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light. There are different types of solar eclipses, including total, partial, and annular eclipses, depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from specific locations on Earth.

A pinhole eclipse occurs when sunlight passes through small openings, like tiny holes in leaves, creating multiple crescent shapes on the ground during a partial solar eclipse. This differs from other types of eclipses, such as total or annular eclipses, where the Moon completely or partially covers the Sun, respectively, resulting in different visual effects.
