Question

Question: How does a lunar eclipse occur? What evidence can you provide to explain that?

Think!!!! Write Claim, Reasoning and add evidence.

Answer 1

Claim: Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on it.

Evidence: A lunar eclipse is caused by Earth blocking sunlight from reaching the moon and casting a shadow across its surface. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. Sun-blocking Earth casts two shadows on the moon: The umbra is a full, dark shadow, and the penumbra is a partial shadow. Lunar eclipses can be divided into two types: total and partial. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon.

Reasoning: The Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during a lunar eclipse. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, which can happen only on the night of a full moon when the moon is near either lunar node.
