What astronomical event can be observed on the moon when the earth is seeing a solar eclipse?
an eclipse of the sun
As seen from the moon there would be an eclipse of the earth, because the moon is between the sun and the daylight part of the earth. You would only see a slowly moving black dot, surrounded by a region of shadow, but you would probably need a telescope to see it. The black dot is the region, about 50 miles across, where people on earth are seeing a total eclipse.

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.
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.
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.
How often does a lunar eclipse occur in the us?
On average, a total lunar eclipse can be observed from somewhere on Earth about every 2.5 years. However, the visibility of a lunar eclipse in the US can vary depending on the specific location and timing of the eclipse.
What is the eclipse path of solar eclipse?
The path of totality for a solar eclipse is different for every eclipse, because even tiny changes in the alignment of the Earth and Moon make a big difference. The NASA eclipse web site calculates the path for each eclipse, at the link below.

Why did aristotle concluded that earth was round?
Because during a lunar eclipse, Aristotle observed that the shape of the earth was round.
How far away from the sun is an eclipse?
An eclipse is an abstract concept which has no distance attached to it. You could talk about how far we are when we see an eclipse, which is the standard distance from the Sun to the Earth, 1 astronomical unit or 149.6 million kilometres.

Which of the following types of eclipses will NEVER be observed?
A partial solar eclipse will never be observed. This is because a partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers only part of the Sun, resulting in a partial shadow being cast on Earth, but it is the darkest part of the shadow known as the umbra that creates a total solar eclipse.
What is the eclipse path of solar eclipse?
The path of totality for a solar eclipse is different for every eclipse, because even tiny changes in the alignment of the Earth and Moon make a big difference. The NASA eclipse web site calculates the path for each eclipse, at the link below.
When the earth moves between the sun and the moon what astronomical event occurs?
When they line up in that order, there is always a Full Moon, and sometimes a lunar eclipse.
