An astronaut on the Moon - or any of the Moon residents, starting about 30 years from now - would see a solar eclipse where we here on Earth see a lunar eclipse.

What is the moon phase during an annular eclipse?

During an annular eclipse, the moon phase is usually a "new moon." This means that the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with only a small portion of its illuminated side facing the Earth.


What phase of the moon represents the appearance of the moon during a solar eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the moon is in the new moon phase. This is when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. As a result, the illuminated side of the moon is facing away from the Earth, making it nearly invisible in the sky during the eclipse.


What fraction of the earth can see the moon centered in the umbra?

During a total lunar eclipse, about half of the Earth can see the moon centered in the umbra. This is because the umbra is the darkest part of Earth's shadow, and it is only visible from the side of the Earth that is facing the moon during the eclipse.


What would a person standing on the moon see during a partial solar eclipse?

It depends where you are on the moon.If you're anywhere on the side of the moon that's visible from Earth, then you'llsee the Earth fully illuminated except for a small black spot somewhere on it ...the region of 'totality' for Earthbound observers of the eclipse. You may also beable to see a larger circular region around the black spot, where the illuminationon the Earth's surface is somewhat less bright. That's the region in which peopleon Earth are seeing a 'partial' solar eclipse, with a part but not all of the sunblocked from their view. You'll see both the black spot and the slightly dingy areaaround it move across the Earth over the period of a few hours.If you are on the side of the moon that's never seen from Earth, then you'll seethe sun in your sky as usual. Unless you're in contact somehow with the folks onEarth, you'll have no idea that anything unusual is happening in their sky.


What happens during the new moon phase when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth?

During the new moon phase, the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun. This causes the moon to blend in with the bright daytime sky and is not visible to us.

During a solar eclipse, the side of the sun facing away from Earth is covered first as the moon passes between the sun and Earth. This gradual coverage creates a partial eclipse before reaching totality, where the sun is completely covered.
