what is an eclipse? write any two causes of occurrence of eclipse?
Answers
Explanation:
1. An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy.
2. Sometimes when the moon orbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.
Answer:
An eclipse is an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination.
When the moon is in the middle of sun and earth, a solar eclipse occurs, and if the earth is in between sun and moon, it is the case of the lunar eclipse. The reason for the occurrence of the eclipse is that there are two points where the orbit of the moon passes through sun’s plane called as nodes.
