Question

20. Explain the phenomenon of lunar eclipse with the help of a neat labelled diagram​

Answer 1

Answer:

Also known as the eclipse of the moon, it occurs when the earth comes in between the sun and the moon. As a result, the earth blocks the light of the sun from reaching the moon's surface and casts its shadow on the moon... Total: When the earth passes directly in front of the moon and casts its shadow on the full moon.

Answer 2

Answer:

When the Sun, Earth, and Moon, are precisely aligned, a lunar eclipse will occur. During an eclipse the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon. Earth creates two shadows: the outer, pale shadow called the penumbra, and the dark, inner shadow called the umbra.
