What else can I help you with?
Which occurs more often a partial solar eclipse or a total solar eclipse?
A Partial Solar Eclipse will happen most often because it is more likely for part of the sun to be covered up by the moon than the whole moon covering the entire sun. Also you don't really hear about Total Eclipses do you ? Hope I Helped -David
When the moon is between the earth and the sun its called?
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
Do the eath moon orbits the sun?
Yes, the Earth’s Moon does orbit the Sun, but it does so as a part of the Earth-Moon system. As the Earth travels along its orbit around the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth, which means that both the Earth and the Moon are essentially moving together in their path around the Sun. Thus, in a broader perspective, the Moon indirectly orbits the Sun along with the Earth.
Are Solar eclipses caused by the earths shadow?
Probably, I mean what else could there be (or the Earth makes a shadow covering the half that doesn't face the sun)
Why can you see half of the moon sometimes and be able to see the whole moon other times?
You see just that part of the moon that the sun is shinning on.
What is it called when the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun?
when the moon is covering the sun completely it is called a "total solar eclipse", when it is covering part of it it is just called "solar eclipse" .

Why is a New Moon black?
Because the sun is covering it!
What would happen if Earth was directly between the Sun and the Moon?
you cannot see the mon because it is covering the sun and the sun is helping the moon
How can you tell where the sun is based on a picture of the moon?
You can infer the position of the sun based on the lighting and shadows visible on the moon's surface. If the sunlit area is on the right side of the moon in the picture, then the sun is located to the moon's right in the sky. This helps determine the relative positions of the sun and the moon at the time the image was taken.
When the lighted part of the moon faces in the direction of the sun the moon is called what?
a full moon
What leads to us seeing a half moon?
The part of the moon that one can see is visible because it is illuminated by the sun. The crossing of the earth between the sun and the moon causes a shadow that will darken part of the moon.
What affects which part of the moon you can see?
the sun!
What causes eclipse and why?
Solar eclipses are caused by the Moon covering the Sun. This can happen at new moon. Lunar eclipses are caused when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow. This can happen at full moon.
What part of the sun is the moon blocking?
If you are in the region of total eclipse, the Moon will block view of ALL of the Sun's disk.
What is the difference between the sun and the moon during an eclipse?
In a solar eclipse, the moon is inbetween the sun and the Earth. This means that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth and block the sun's rays. If the moon is directly in front of the sun, the umbra (darkest part of the shadow) is on the Earth. Otherwise, we will only see the penumbra (where the moon only covers a part of the sun).A solar eclipse is where the earth is inbetween the sun and the moon. This can mean that the moon can disappear from the sky for some time (or the sun will be covered if you are standing on the moon!).
Where is the moon during the full moon?
The moon is sometimes behind the sun covering certain parts of it and when the earth moves we orbit round the sun and the moon goes behind it so we can see it in the day! If you have anymore questions comment below and post your question xD
