How are lunar eclipses formed? |
|
Answer» (i) A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon enters the shadow of the earth while revolving around it. (ii) On a full moon day if the sun, the earth & the moon, are in a straight line, the orbital path of the moon passes through the dark shadow of the earth. (iii) If the moon is totally hidden within the shadow, a total lunar eclipse is seen & if only a part of the moon is in the shadow, a partial lunar eclipse is seen. |
