Question

During total solar eclipse , the disc of moon completely covers the disc of sun , because.
(a) the diameter of moon and sun are exactly equal
(b) the angle subtended by moon and sun on earth are exactly equal
(c) The distance of moon and sun from earth become equal at the time
(d) This is due to a phenomenon yet unknown.​

Answer 1

Answer:

solar eclipse

Explanation:

The Moon passes between Earth and Sun, completely covering the Sun's disk. The Moon is a bit farther from Earth than average, so a ring of sunlight encircles the Moon as it passes between Earth and Sun.

Answer 2

The correct option is (a) the diameter of the moon and sun are exactly equal.

What is a Solar Eclipse and how does it occur?

• A total Solar Eclipse takes place whilst the Moon passes in front of the Sun, blocking off its vibrant disk and casting a deep shadow directly on the Earth.
• The Moon's diameter seems to be identical to the length of that of the sun, blocking off its light.
• A total Solar Eclipse occurs every 18 months and seems to be a rare one.
