The eclipse in which the moon blocks sunlight from reaching Earth is called a solar eclipse. This occurs when the moon moves directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth and temporarily obscuring the sun's light. During a total solar eclipse, the sun is completely covered, while in a partial solar eclipse, only a portion of the sun is obscured.
True. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon. This can create a shadow on the Moon, causing it to appear darker or reddish in color, depending on the amount of Earth's atmosphere that scatters light.
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
An eclipse occurs when one celestial body passes between another and the sun, blocking the sunlight. This can result in a partial or total obstruction of sunlight reaching the surface of the Earth or the other body.
During a lunar eclipse observed from Earth, a solar eclipse would be observed from the perspective of the Moon. This occurs because the Earth blocks the sunlight from directly reaching the Moon, resulting in a solar eclipse from the Moon's point of view.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover the moon.
The moon is only big enough to block sunlight from a small spot on the Earth ... never more than about 170 miles across. On the rare occasion when that happens, the event is called a "solar eclipse".An eclipse occurs when the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching Earth. The same is true when the opposite occurs.

Your correspondent 'Wiki User 10 yrs ago'. is incorrect. No one is 'Stupid' , when they don't know. Stupidity comes about , when the persons knows, but does not use the information correctly.
