When the moon travels between the Earth and the sun, it causes a solar eclipse, obscuring the sun's light from view. During this event, the moon casts a shadow on the Earth, and observers in the path of the shadow experience a temporary darkening of the sky. Depending on the alignment, the eclipse can be total, partial, or annular, with a total eclipse resulting in complete obscuration of the sun. This phenomenon also creates a striking visual display, allowing for the observation of the sun's corona.

What direction does light bend as it travels from water into air?

Light bends away from the normal when it travels from water into air. This is due to the difference in refractive indices between the two mediums, causing the light to change speed and direction.

How does sound travels through the 3 states of matter?

Sound travels through solids the fastest, as the particles in solids are closely packed, enabling vibrations to propagate quickly. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, as the particles are less tightly packed. In gases, sound travels slowest due to the large distance between particles, causing vibrations to propagate more slowly.


What happens as light travels farther from its source?

As light travels farther from its source, it spreads out and disperses, causing its intensity to decrease. This is known as light attenuation. Additionally, light may interact with particles or obstacles in its path, leading to absorption, reflection, or scattering, further reducing its brightness.
