During a solar eclipse, the moon must be in the new moon phase.
During a total solar eclipse, it can get as dark as twilight or even darker, depending on the location and the amount of sunlight blocked by the moon.
Yes, it will go dark during a solar eclipse as the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, blocking out the sunlight.
It is much more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can happen from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting a shadow on Earth. However, the path of totality for a solar eclipse is much narrower, making it less likely for any specific location to experience a solar eclipse.
During a total solar eclipse, the moon appears the same size as the sun because of a coincidence in their relative distances and sizes. The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also about 400 times closer to Earth than the sun. This alignment causes the moon to perfectly cover the sun, creating the illusion that they are the same size in the sky.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon appears red or copper-colored due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight. This phenomenon is significant as it provides a visual representation of the Earth's position between the sun and the moon, showcasing the interconnectedness of celestial bodies in our solar system.
