Draw 3 Circles. A large one to represent the sun, a small one to represent the moon, and a medium-sized one to represent the earth.

The circles should be drawn next to each other in a straight line.

Draw the small circle (moon) directly in between the large and medium circles (Sun and Earth)

The moon is what causes the solar eclipse. It gets in between the sun and earth so that from the earth we cannot see the sun.

In a straight line left to right: Moon, Earth, Sun. Much bigger Earth-Sun gap than Moon-Earth.

Draw a line from the top of the Sun that just touches the top of Earth as it passes and another from the same point on the Sun that just touches the bottom of the Earth as it passes.

Do the same from the bottom of the Sun.

You should now have the moon sitting within four lines which represent the shadow of the Earth.

The innermost pair of these lines represents the area of totality.

A solar eclipse is when the Earth casts a shadow on the moon (in contrast to a lunar eclipse, where the moon casts a shadow on the Earth). This means the Earth would be directly between the sun and the moon. So, if you were standing on the moon, the Earth would block the sun.

this is totally wrong in a solare eclipse the moon is in between the earth and the sun! x x x <3

They are in that order : Sun, Moon, Earth. In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow that rapidly moves across the surface.

Why does the moon look like it is getting smaller?

it's going fauther from the earth.


Draw a free body diagram for the moon?

If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).


How many times will the moon roll before hitting the earth?

It doesn't look like the Moon will hit Earth any time soon. In fact, it is gradually getting farther and farther away from Earth.
