Mr. Gordon's science students are studying scale models of the Sun-Earth-Moon system. Mr. Gordon is using this model to show his students how the three bodies are arranged during a solar eclipse. Although he can show the correct positions, something is wrong about this scale model. What conclusion did the student's draw to be the problem?

Answer:
Its very likely
Explanation:
It is impossible to answer this question without the figure. Nevertheless It is highly unlikely that any model used in a classroom is a properly scaled model because the earth fits 30 times inside the moon's orbit and 12000 times in earth's orbit around the sun. So if the earth is represented as a 1 centimeter circle the entire model would have to be 240 meters wide!!!!! (More that 2 football fields)

You can tell from this diagram that a complete lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon is
in the umbra, the darker part of the Earth's shadow.
Which location of the moon relative to the sun and earth may produce a lunar eclipse?
The moon is to the left of Earth and the Sun is to the left of Earth.
