1.True
This causes an eclipse of the Sun, or a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow onto Earth.
2.False
3. True
What happens when the Earth or the Moon gets in the way of the Sun's light?
Sometimes when the Moon orbits Earth, the Moon 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 a solar eclipse.
4.True 5.True
Does the Sun or moon get darker in a lunar eclipse?
Earth sometimes moves into a position directly between the sun and the moon. When this happens, the moon passes through the shadow cast by earth. No sunlight strikes the moon directly, and it becomes dark. A total lunar eclipse.
6.False
Solar eclipses are fairly numerous, about 2 to 4 per year, but the area on the ground covered by totality is only about 50 miles wide.
7.True
Partial solar eclipses are when the Moon doesn't completely cover the Sun. The Moon passes off-center and only a portion of the Sun is obscured.
8.False
The amount of Moon we see changes over the month — lunar phases — because the Moon orbits Earth and Earth orbits the Sun. Everything is moving. During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon. Earth's shadow covers all or part of the lunar surface.
9.True
During sunset hours, the light passing through our atmosphere to our eyes tends to be most concentrated with red and orange frequencies of light.
10.False not sure
How many partial eclipses happen in a year?
In most calendar years there are two lunar eclipses; in some years one or three or none occur. Solar eclipses occur two to five times a year, five being exceptional; there last were five in 1935, and there will not be five again until 2206.
