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.

When the shadow of one celestial body blocks the view of another the event is called a?

When the shadow of one celestial body blocks the view of another, the event is called an eclipse. In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, obscuring the Sun's light. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. These phenomena can create stunning visual displays in the sky.


During a solar eclipse the shadow of falls on?

During a solar eclipse, the shadow falls on Earth as the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching specific areas. This creates a temporary darkening of the sky and can be observed from the regions where the eclipse is visible.


Why is solar energy prevented from reaching the moon during a solar eclipse?

The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.


Which object's shadow travels across part of earth during a solar eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.


What is the difference between an eclipse and a transit?

An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes through the shadow of another, like a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun. A transit is when a smaller celestial body passes in front of a larger body, like the transit of Mercury or Venus across the face of the Sun.

What is the shadow of one celestial body falls on another?

The true shadow where the celestial body completely blocks the light source (such as a total eclipse of the sun as viewed from Earth) is called the umbra. The partial shadow, for example if only a part of the limb of the body blocks the sun (like a partial solar eclipse) is called the penumbra.

This creates a temporary moment of darkness during the day, and you can see the sun's corona, stars, and planets in the sky. It is a rare and awe-inspiring event to witness.

This phenomenon can be total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.
