Geography : An Introduction Part 7

Eclipse of Sun & Moon :- 

  •  Moon is riots seen on the New Moon and it is fully bright vision visible on the full moon. In both these situations sun, earth and moon are in a straight line. 
  • The moon eclipse occur on the full moon and the sun eclipse occur on the New Moon only. On a full moon or New Moon when the angle of orbits of the Earth and the Moon are same, there will be an eclipse. The electric of a line on which both the surfaces are machine is called the focus point.

​Lunar Eclipse :- 

  • The Earth comes in between the sun and the moon during the moon eclipse show the earth's Shadow falls on the Moon,  so the moon gets foggy. 
  • The time of moon eclipse varies according to the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
  • The shadow of the earth falls on the turning part of the moon this situation is called the moon eclipse.
  • Reason for this is the relative position of moon , Earth and Sun.  During revolution the earth, comes between the sun and the moon. So, the light of Sun does not reach to moon and Shadow of earth falls on moon because Earth comes in the way of light this position called the moon eclipse.
  • All full moon sun the Earth and the Moon are in a straight line but on every full moon eclipse does not occur reason for this is the different planes of orbit of Moon and Earth.
  • Moon's Orbit plane makes angle of 5°9' with Earth's Orbit plane.
  • Moon's orbit and Earth's Orbit intersects each other at 2 point. When moon comes only all these two points and if it is a full moon then there is a moon eclipse. 
  • Full lunar eclipse occurs when the shadow of the earth totally covers the moon but if the moon is virtual shaded then it is the n ecpartially eclipse.
