Space & Astronomy 04 Apr 2026
Which celestial phenomenon occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth?
Correct Answer: A. Solar Eclipse
EXPLANATION
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon's orbit places it directly between Earth and the Sun, creating a shadow on Earth's surface.
This is distinct from a lunar eclipse where Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, and from penumbral or annular eclipses which are specific types with different characteristics.
