How does a solar eclipse work?
Question:
Answer:
This is when the moon is in the middle of earth and sun, blocking most rays from the earth. This happened as they complete their revolutions.
When the moon is right between the earth & the sun, it makes a shadow. where the shadow hits is the eclipse.
It always happens during new moon... The moon passes right in front of the sun. Moon is between the sun and the earth
Essentially, the moon comes between the Earth & Sun, casting a shadow on Earth's surface. There are two parts to the shadow (assuming it's a total solar ecclipse) - the umbra and the penumbra. In umbra, you see a portion of the sun blocked out by the moon, but not completely. in the penumbra, you see the moon crossing in front of the sun, blotting out it's disk. (And, there are annular eclipses, as well - where the moon is far enough out in it's orbit that the sun appears as a ring.)
Hi, its quite interesting. See what happens is that during a new moon, the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth. Casting a shadow on part of the Earth.
