Q: What disappers during a solar and lunar eclipse? best answer 10pts.?
Question:
thanks!!
Answer:
In a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the light coming from the sun.
In a lunar eclipse, the moon is behind the earth, so all of the light coming from the sun is blocked. Thus none is being reflected and the moon seems to disappear.
Yes, tides are in cycles of about 12 hours.
Nothing "disappears" during eclipses.
During a solar eclipse, the moon moves between the earth and the sun and casts a shadow on the earth. So the light of the sun is blocked, but nothing has "disappeared".
Similarly, during a lunar eclipse, the earth moves between the moon and the sun, and the earth casts a shadow on the moon. So the light of the sun that would normally fall on the moon is blocked by the earth, but again, nothing has "disappeared".
The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon pulling on the water of the oceans. The moon goes around the earth once every 24 hours, and the tides go from high to low every 12 hours as a result. You can look at the web site for more info, but it seems kind of complicated.
The light disappears, it is blocked out by the moon, or the earth
No, the moon and the sun do not disappear during the eclipse. What disappears is the light from them - that is because of a shadow cast by the earth on the moon (for the lunar eclipse) and the moon obstructing the sun (as seen from earth) in the case of solar eclipse.
That they don't disappear should be evident in partial eclipses when you can see part of them visible.
i dont think tide cycles cud be 12 hours cuz then changes wud not happen at different times each day
