USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -A solar eclipse occurs when the moon “eclipses” the sun. This means that the moon, as it orbits the Earth, comes in between the sun and the Earth, thereby blocking the sun and preventing any sunlight from reaching us. Partial solar eclipse: The moon blocks the sun, but only partially.

Detailed explanation-2: -An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. In some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses were attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. Astronomers’ predictions of eclipses began in China as early as the 4th century BC; eclipses hundreds of years into the future may now be predicted with high accuracy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hint:Both the solar and lunar eclipse is a natural phenomenon and happens due to the motion of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth. An eclipse happens when a planet or a moon gets in between the Sun’s light. Here on Earth, we can have two kinds of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a lunar eclipse the orbit of the Moon carries it through Earth’s shadow. Observers see the full Moon dim considerably, but it remains faintly visible. In a solar eclipse the Moon is the eclipsing body, passing between Earth and the Sun while casting a traveling shadow across Earth’s lighted surface.
