Question
what occurs during a solar eclipse?
○ earth is closest to the sun.
○ there are small tides across earth.
○ the moons shadow falls on earth.
○ the moon is covered in earths shadow.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow onto Earth's surface. Earth being closest to the Sun is perihelion, not an eclipse. Small tides do not match the event; eclipses relate to spring tides. Earth's shadow covering the Moon is a lunar eclipse, not solar.
