During a lunar eclipse the shadow of what celestial body blocks your view of the moon?

Answer 1

It depends on the time of day, and year, and solar cycle. Its never the same exact point. In a total eclipse, the photosphere (and everything inside that, such as the core) is blocked by the moon but the corona is visible.

Answer 2

That is called a solar eclipse. The sun is much bigger than the moon, however the moon is much closer - the difference in sizes and distances happens to be almost exactly the same ratio. If the moon aligns well enough between the sun and Earth, it is big enough to block the light, and allows us to see the sun's corona.

Answer 3

At a lunar ecilps the earth blocks light from the sun to the moon.At a solar ecilps the moon blocks sunlight from reaching earth resulting in the darkening of the earth and those happens after a few years

Answer 4

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon partly or totally blocks our view of the sun.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth blocks the moon'sview of the sun, and the moon turns dark.

There is nothing in space positioned in such a way that it can block our view of the moon.

Answer 5

The Earth blocks most of the illumination of the moon during the lunar eclipse, but

it doesn't block our view of it ... the peak of the eclipse is the moment of Full Moon.

Answer 6

Well the earth makes the moon orbit around it so sometimes the moon gets in front of the sun so it blocks the light and everything is dark.

Answer 7

During a solar eclipse the moon blocks the sun from view.

Answer 8

When a lunar eclipse occurs the earth blocks the light from the sun from reaching the moon. That's the reason why the moon is not clearly visible during a lunar eclipse.

Answer 9

the Moon slides into Earth's shadow

Answer 10

the earth
