What else can I help you with?
What would you see in a solar eclipse if the moon was further away then it is now?
You would see something called an 'annular eclipse' - like the image in the bottom-right of the picture in the related link.
What Can only occur when the moon is new and has angular size larger than the sun in the sky?
A total solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is new and its angular size appears larger than the sun in the sky. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth.
When would you see a partial eclipse and when would you see a full eclipse?
I am going to show you a list of any type of an eclipse:A partial solar eclipse on January 4.A total lunar eclipse on June 15.A partial solar eclipse on July 1.A partial solar eclipse on November 25.A total lunar eclipse on December 10.
Would the moon be as big as the sun on a solar eclipse?
The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but the sun is about 400 times further away, so from our viewpoint on earth, they appear the same size in the sky. Coincidence or designed that way? - well that's another discussion...
What is the order of alignment during a solar eclipse heading out toward the edge of the solar system?
During a solar eclipse, the alignment is the Sun, Moon, and Earth, with the Moon positioned between the Earth and the Sun. As the eclipse progresses outward toward the edge of the solar system, the alignment remains the same, with the Sun at the center and the Moon moving away from the inner planets towards the outer planets.
If the moon was further away would you get a corona on a solar eclipse?
Not with the naked eye, although we have special instruments - the coronagraph - that allow us to see the solar corona at any time. You can only see the solar corona with the naked eye during a total solar eclipse, and the Moon is already too far away to do that at apogee. If the Moon were further away than it is now, you would NEVER see a total solar eclipse.

What is a soalar eclipse?
a solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun away from the earth
If the moon was smaller than it is now what would you see during a solar eclipse?
My guess is that it would be the same. If the Moon was smaller, then it would weight less and it would have an orbit further away. So, the effect will be the same---in my opinion.

A total solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is new and its angular size appears larger than the sun in the sky. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth.
How is a total solar eclipse different from a partial solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse is when the Moon and Sun are just the right place and distance away from each other when the Moon FULLY covers the Sun. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon isn't quite in the right place or isn't near enough to the Earth to cover the Sun to the full.
Is there a planet further away than Pluto?
There are many planets further away from Pluto but they do not orbit the sun so they are not part of our solar system. There are also many stars that are further away from Pluto.
How does the penumbra differ from an umbra?
an umbra is the center of the solar eclipse which is the darker part and the penumbra is farther away from the center of the eclipse and is brighter than the umbra

How can the moon block out the sun during a solar eclipse when the sun is so much larger than the moon?
The moon can block the sun during an eclipse in the same way as your thumb can block (or eclipse) the moon. A smaller object viewed at a closer distance can appear larger than a much larger object that is further away.
