When a person on the earth is observing a lunar eclipse which eclipse an astronaut on the moon facing the earth observe?

The astronaut on the moon would observe a solar eclipse. This is because the Earth is blocking the Sun from the astronaut's point of view, similar to how the Moon blocks the Sun during a solar eclipse seen from Earth.


Which heavely bodies play hide and seek during eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the moon passes in front of the sun. While this is happening, it blocks out most of the sunlight and creates a spectacular sight in the sky. The moon and sun are playing a game of hide and seek as they move across our view of the sky. The sun is much larger than the moon so it’s difficult for the moon to completely block out the sun, which is why we can still see a ring of sunlight around the moon during an eclipse. This is known as the “ring of fire” or annular eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, on the other hand, it’s the Earth blocking out some of the light from the sun that reaches the moon. The Earth casts a shadow onto the moon, making it look like it is slowly disappearing. This is known as a total lunar eclipse. Both of these events are spectacular to witness and remind us how the motions of the Earth, sun, and moon can affect our view of the sky.  


What is it called when there is a blocking of a view of the full moon when the moon passes through the earth's shadow?

This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, blocking the sunlight and causing the Moon to appear darkened or reddish in color.


When is the best time to view the eclipse?

The best time to view the eclipse is during the peak of the event, when the moon completely covers the sun. This usually occurs in the late morning or early afternoon, depending on your location. Be sure to use proper eye protection when viewing the eclipse.


DUring a total solar eclipse does the sky grow dark?

Yes, during a total solar eclipse, the sky can grow dark as the Moon passes in front of the Sun and blocks its light. This blocking of the sunlight can create a temporary darkness as if it were nighttime, allowing stars and planets to be visible during the daytime.

What is the Moon's color during lunar eclipse?

From our view, Black.


How does a partial solar eclipse differ form a total eclipse?

-- During a partial solar eclipse, part of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon) and the rest of it is still there. -- During a total solar eclipse, the entire disk of the sun is obscured from our view (by the moon).


When there is a lunar eclipse observed from earth what eclipse will be observed from moon?

During a lunar eclipse observed from Earth, a solar eclipse would be observed from the perspective of the Moon. This occurs because the Earth blocks the sunlight from directly reaching the Moon, resulting in a solar eclipse from the Moon's point of view.

What makes a lunar and solar eclipse?

The moon and the solar system. When the moons blocks the sun from an Earth view, it is a solar eclipse. When the sun blocks the moon from an Earth view, it is a lunar eclipse.


What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.


During a lunar eclipse the shadow of what celestial body blocks your view of the moon?

It depends on the time of day, and year, and solar cycle. Its never the same exact point. In a total eclipse, the photosphere (and everything inside that, such as the core) is blocked by the moon but the corona is visible.

How do you formulate the hypothesis of solar eclipse?

The hypothesis for a solar eclipse could be formulated as: "During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, causing the sun to be partially or fully obscured from view on Earth." This hypothesis can be tested by observing and analyzing the alignment and movement of the sun, moon, and Earth during a solar eclipse event.


How does the position of the moon during a solar eclipse differ from the position of the moon during a lunar eclipse?

Taking the Sun, Moon, and Earth, all three of them are lined up, with their centers pretty close to the same straight line, at the time of any eclipse. -- At the time of a solar eclipse, the Moon is the one in the 'middle'. -- At the time of a lunar eclipse, the Earth is the one in the 'middle'. I say 'middle', because the Sun is still 390 times farther from Earth than the Moon is, all the time.

Where on earth do you need to be to view a lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark side of the Earth. The Moon is opposite the Sun because the eclipse happens at Full Moon, and the Moon should be at a good height, so it's preferable to view it from a place where the eclipse starts a couple of hour after sunset.
