Question

3 which evidence best supports the inference that a lunar eclipse cant occur during a new moon? a the moon is between earth and the sun during a new moon b earth is between the sun and the moon during a full moon c the moon orbits around earth during a new moon

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A lunar eclipse happens when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon, requiring Earth to be between the Sun and Moon. During a new moon, the Moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun, so Earth cannot cast its shadow on the Moon, making a lunar eclipse impossible. Option A directly addresses the new moon's alignment that prevents this eclipse.

Answer:

A. The Moon is between Earth and the Sun during a new moon
