What causes an eclipses and why?
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
What does the umbra and the penumbra have to with with eclipse?
An umbra is formed when an object blocks all of the light from a light source. A penumbra is formed when light from one source is blocked with light from another source filling in some of the shadow, OR when a large light source is only partially blocked. http://www.learner.org/workshops/sheddinglight/highlights/highlights1.html
How does earths rotation differ from its revolution?
The word "rotation" is used when something turns around its own axis - which is inside the object. In the case of Earth, this happens once a day (more precisely, every 23h 56m). The word "revolution" is used when an object goes around another object. In the case of the Earth, the other object would be the Sun; it takes Earth a year to go around once.
A object that revolves around another object?
a satellite
When a object goes around another object?
It is said to be orbiting the central object.
When our view of an object is blocked by either another object or by the earth's shadow?
The object is said to be in shadow due to being obstructed from direct light. This can occur when an object is blocked by another physical object, or when it falls within the Earth's shadow, known as an eclipse.
What causes an eclipses and why?
An eclipse is an event in which an object in space is temporarily blocked from view by either by passing behind another astronomical object, or having another astronomical object pass between it and the viewer.
Why do space object hit earth?
Because, either we happen to be in it's way, or the object is pulled in by Earths gravitation field.
When view of one object is blocked by another object or earth's shadow?
A solar eclipse is when the Sun is blocked by the Moon passing between the Earth and the Sun. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the view of the Moon.
It is produced when a light source is blocked by an object Answer?
[object Object]
What is formed when light is blocked blocked by an opaque object?
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque object. The shadow appears on the surface opposite the direction of the light source.
If an object accelerates is a push or pull acting on it?
A push or pull acting on an object can cause it to accelerate. This force can come from interaction with another object such as gravity, friction, or contact with another object.
Why do mirrors flip images?
it is the same sinario as if you are looking at another person but it is either you or another object
What is it called when a monocular depth cue blocking another but is percieved as closer to another object?
This phenomenon is known as "occlusion." When one object partially blocks another from view, the brain interprets the blocked object as being farther away and the blocking object as being closer. This is a crucial depth cue that helps us perceive depth and distance in our environment.
What object is blocked in a lunar eclipse?
the sun
What is formed when light is blocked by and opaque object?
A shadow is formed when light is blocked by an opaque object, preventing the light from passing through the object. Shadows are created when an object comes between a source of light and a surface, causing the light to be obstructed and cast a dark silhouette of the object.
How can light be blocked by other objects?
Light can be blocked by other objects when the material of the object absorbs or scatters the light waves. This absorption or scattering prevents the light waves from passing through the object, causing a shadow to be cast on the other side. The degree to which light is blocked depends on the opacity and thickness of the object.
