Question 14
An eclipse occurs when the light from a celestial body (like the sun or moon) is blocked. For a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the sun; for a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the moon's light (or the moon is in Earth's shadow). So the blank is likely filled with "the sun (or the moon, depending on type)" but more precisely, an eclipse (solar) is when the sun is blocked by the moon, or (lunar) when the moon is blocked by Earth's shadow. But the common fill here is "the sun" for solar eclipse (most basic eclipse explanation).
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of Earth's gravity. This is a known scientific fact: Moon's gravitational acceleration is approximately $1.62\ m/s^2$ while Earth's is about $9.8\ m/s^2$, so the fraction is 1/6.
Step1: Recall Moon-Earth gravity ratio
The moon's gravity is approximately $\frac{1}{6}$ of Earth's gravity.

the sun (for solar eclipse, or "the moon's light" for lunar, but typically "the sun" is expected here as a basic answer)
