When the moon is in the middle of the lineup and gets between the earth and the sun is called?
When the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, it results in a solar eclipse. During this event, the moon blocks the sun's light either partially or completely, depending on the observer's location on Earth. This alignment occurs during a new moon phase.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
Why does a star appear to shift position when viewed from different locations?
A star appears to shift position when viewed from different locations due to a phenomenon called parallax. As the observer moves between two points in their orbit around the Sun, nearby stars appear to shift against the more distant background stars. This apparent change in position is a result of the observer's changing viewpoint, allowing for the measurement of the star's distance from Earth. The effect is more pronounced for closer stars and diminishes for those that are farther away.
How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?
Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.
What observer on the earth will experience when one star is going away from the earth?
increasing wavelength
Why is solar eclipse occur?
There are different kinds of solar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when an astrological body blocks view of the sun. If the observer is standing on the earth, and the moon moves in between the observer and the sun, that is an eclipse. If the observer is standing on earth's moon, and the earth moves between the observer and the sun, that is also an eclipse.
What is the name of the atmosphere viewed from earth?
The atmosphere viewed from Earth is called the exosphere.
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
It is called an eclipse when Earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it.

What is it called when the moon blocks sunlight from reaching the earth?
a Lunar Eclipse
What is it called when the earth blocks the sun from shining on the mood?
a lunar eclipse.
When the earth blocks the light of the sun on the moon what is it called?
Eclipse of the moon.
What is is called when earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon?
a Lunar Eclipse
What is the line where the earth and the sky called?
The line where the earth meets the sky is called the horizon. It is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky when viewed from a specific point.
What is the imagenary point in the sky directly above an observer on Earth?
That's the observer's 'zenith'. Since it's referenced to the "observer's head", each observer has a different zenith.
Why is it that ships disappear over the horizon?
Ships appear to disappear over the horizon due to the curvature of the Earth. As a ship moves away from an observer, it eventually reaches a point where the curvature of the Earth blocks the line of sight between the observer and the ship, making it seem as though the ship has disappeared.
What can be seen from earth's orbit other than the moon?
The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
