HELP PLEASE
When Earth, the moon, and the sun align, which order would lead to a solar eclipse? (1 point)


A. sun–Earth–moon


B. moon–Earth–sun


C. sun–moon–Earth


D. moon–sun–Earth

Sagot :

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.

Answer:

C. sun-moon-Earth

Explanation:

The moon must be between the sun and Earth for a solar eclipse to occur.
