What would the moon’s view of a solar eclipse look like?


Question:
What would the moon’s view of a solar eclipse look like

Answer:
It would take a lot longer, as the earth looked at from the moon is much larger than the sun
Full Earth, with a small dark patch moving slowly across it--the Moon's shadow.
It would look just like the sun looks to us only a little larger.During a solar eclipse the moon is between the sun and the Earth; as opposed to a lunar eclipse which the earth is between the sun and the moon.
the moon's view wouldn't be too exciting, and would depend where on the moon you are. if you are on the side of the moon facing earth you could see the moon's shadows moving across the globe.

if you were on the side of the moon facing the sun.. you would see the sun and that's all. you would also see stars on either side.

personally i'd pick the side facing the earth, even though it would be rather cold.
The Sun would look normal, no eclipse. The Earth would have a small shadow on it. But you could not see both at the same time because during an eclipse the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, so from the Moon the Sun is below the horizon if the Earth is above it, and visa-versa.
Depends on where the moon is as it revolves around the Earth during our eclipse.

during what we know as a solar eclipse, when the moon is between earth and the sun, from the moon (per question) side facing the sun, no difference and nothing showing eclipse is taking place. On the side facing the earth, you may see the shadow of the moon move across the land but otherwise a full lit earth.
