Question by ツ.: What Does Solar and Lunar Eclipse mean?
Helloooo =) This is what I got for a definition:
-- the obscuration of the light of the moon by the intervention of the earth between it and the sun (lunar eclipse) or the obscuration of the light of the sun by the intervention of the moon between it and a point on the earth (solar eclipse).
but seriously I don't understand that at all and I have to explain my diagram for a SCIENCE PROJECT and I need help so it'll be so sweet if u guys can answer fast =) THANKS LOVES xD
Best answer:
Answer by StephanieA lunar eclipse is when the moon is completely in the Earth's shadow so it looks like it's completely gone. A solar eclipse is when the moon is blocking the sun's rays to the Earth, casting a shadow onto a part of the Earth. In a solar eclipse only a portion of the Earth will see it. There are some diagrams here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_eclipse
