Question

1. if you are seeing a solar eclipse but you are not located in the umbra of the moon, what might you see in the sky?

a
sun from earth
b
sun from earth
c
moon from earth
d
moon from earth

Explanation:

The umbra is the region of total shadow; outside it, observers are in the penumbra, where only a portion of the Sun is blocked by the Moon, creating a partial solar eclipse. Option A shows a partially obscured Sun, which matches this scenario. Option B is a total solar eclipse (seen from the umbra), while C and D show the Moon, not the Sun during a solar eclipse.

Answer:

A. Sun from Earth (partial solar eclipse view)
