Does the solar and lunar eclipse occur because the Earth and moon are opaque. Why or why not?
Answers
Answer:
No, the truth is that the question is not logical because the solar and lunar eclipse are caused by the transit of the earth between the Moon and the Sun, or the moon between the Earth and the sun, making shadows on the object that is in the outer end of the triple alignment, no body is opaque when it receives sunlight ..
Answer:
When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse.
Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon. But lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted five degrees from Earth's orbit around the Sun
