Why aren't there lunar and solar eclipses every month?

Physics
2 answers:
Helga [31]2 years ago

The reason why lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month is because; the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun.

<h3>Why don't lunar and solar eclipses occur every month?</h3>

When the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, there's solar eclipse while when the earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, there's lunar eclipse.

Hence, because the plane of orbit of the moon around the earth is not same as that of earth around the sun, we do not have lunar and solar eclipses every month.

The moon's orbital plane is different from that of the earth's orbit around the sun due to which lunar and solar eclipses do not occur every month.

<h3 /><h3>What is a solar eclipse?</h3>

When the moon passes in front of Earth and the sun, it creates a solar eclipse and casts a shadow across the globe.

Only during the new moon phase, when the moon travels squarely between the sun and Earth and casts shadows on its surface, can a solar eclipse occur.

Due to the moon's orbit being five degrees off-center from Earth's orbit around the Sun, lunar eclipses do not happen every month and the Moon often passes above or below the shadow.

Lunar eclipses would happen every month if there were no tilt. Eclipses of the sun and the moon happen equally often.

Hence lunar and solar eclipses aren't coming every month.

The alternating current which crosses an apparatus of 600 W has a maximum value of 2.5 A. What is efficient voltage between its
azamat

Answer: Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Since we know that,

P = VI

where;

P = power

V= Voltage

I = Current

Since it's given that,

P = 600W

I = 2.5 A

equating these values in the above equation, we get;

<em>V = \frac{600}{2.5}</em>

<em>V = 240 V</em>

Two bricks are released at the same time from the same point ten feet above the ground. One of the bricks is falling straight do
natita [175]
Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

About how long does it take ocean water to travel around a gyre?
mylen [45]
The Gulf Stream, for example, has an average speed of 4 mph, or 100 miles/day, or 3600 miles/year, in round numbers. A complete circuit around the Atlantic is 8 or 10 thousand miles, which would take around 3 years on a raft.

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.6 vibrations
tangare [24]

Answer:

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Explanation:

given,

Wave vibrates = 37.6

time = 27.9 s

maximum distance travel = 450 cm

time = 11.3 s

wavelength = ?

frequency of wave

f=\dfrac{37.6}{27.9}

f = 1.35 Hz

Speed of wave

v = \dfrac{450}{11.3}

v = 39.82 cm/s

wavelength of wave

v = fλ

\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda =\dfrac{34.82}{1.35}

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Hence, wavelength of the wave is equal to 25.79 cm.
