the shadow of moon on earth causes
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
It's the moon within Earth's shadow. When the sun, the Earth and the moon are aligned in space (nearly or perfectly), with the Earth between the sun and moon, then Earth's shadow falls on the moon's face. That's when people on Earth see the shadow gradually turn a bright full moon dark in a lunar eclipse.
Step-by-step explanation:
Like all worlds orbiting a sun, Earth casts a shadow. Earth’s shadow extends about 870,000 miles (1.4 million km) into space. You might not realize it, but, from Earth’s surface, you can see the shadow. In fact, it’s easy to see, and you’ve probably already seen it, many times, as day changes to night.
That’s because night itself is a shadow. When night falls, you’re standing within the shadow of Earth.
The best time to watch for Earth’s shadow is when it’s creeping up on your part of Earth … Like all shadows, the shadow of Earth is always opposite the sun. So you’ll want to look eastward after sunset for the shadow (or westward before sunrise).
