Would it get colder during a solar eclipse?

Answer 1

Solar Eclipse

The Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth, and at their varying distances they will appear almost the same size in the sky. The edge of the solar atmosphere (corona) will be visible around the Moon during a solar eclipse. Even partial eclipses can only occur during a small number of lunar orbits, and always during a New Moon.

Lunar Eclipse

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth gets in the way of the Sun's light that would normally hit the Moon and be reflected down to Earth.

The Earth's shadow falls across the Moon, but because some of the light refracts through our atmosphere, the Moon, instead of being totally darkened, turns a dark red instead.

A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon, It will usually only be a partial eclipse, because the Earth's shadow does not cover the entire width of the lunar orbital path.

Answer 2

During a solar eclipse, the temperature can drop slightly due to the absence of direct sunlight. The decrease in solar radiation can lead to a temporary cooling effect, but the extent of temperature drop will depend on various factors, such as location, time of year, and duration of the eclipse.

Answer 3

None. Solar eclipses are too local and too short to have any impact at all on climate. They might impact weather (it could get slightly cooler for a few minutes, for example), but not climate.

Answer 4

Nothing much. The Moon and the Earth line up so that in a solar eclipse, the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, while in a lunar eclipse the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. It gets dark for a little while, and then everything goes back to normal.

There are, on average, 2 solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses every year, and that's been going on since the Moon formed about 4 billion years ago.

Answer 5

An eclipse occurs when some object moves between a light source (a star) and some other object. The most common eclipses are lunar, where the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and Solar, where the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth.

Since the Sun is not a point source, the shadow has two regions, the umbra which is the full shadow, and the penumbra, which is the partial shadow. The umbra causes a total eclipse, and the penumbra causes a partial eclipse.

Answer 6

Tides are formed by the gravitational pull of the Moon.So,on a full moon night,tides will be higher than on a moonless night.

An eclipse is either when the moon covers the sun or when the earth's shadow falls on the moon.Either of these two instances do not affect the gravitational force exerted upon the tides on Earth by the Moon.

Therefore we can conclude that an eclipse will have no special effect on tides.

Answer 7

The tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth (and to a far lesser extent, the Sun's gravitational pull). That pull will always be there, regardless of the event of an eclipse.

Answer 8

During an eclipse, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a near-perfect line. So the Moon's and Sun's gravity work together to make large tides, known as spring tides (which have nothing to do with the season of springtime).

Answer 9

It doesn't affect it in any special way. All it does is, stop the the Sun's light from coming in on one small spot on Earth for a few minutes.

Answer 10

Yes of course it can effect all the livings things...... why?..cause the moon blocked the sun so we don't see anything cause there is no light.
