°°The next Lunar Eclipse is on March 23, a Wednesday THIS YEAR - 65 days left!
°° A Lunar Eclipse happens when the moon passes directly behind the earth into its umbra, or, shadow. This can occur only when the sun, Earth and moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a Lunar Eclipse can occur only the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depends upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. Isn't that cool?

Answer:
gravitational pull generates something called tidal force.
Explanation:
High and low tides are caused by the moon. the moons gravitational pull generates tidal force.
Answer:
There are three possible chemical equations for the combustion of sulfur:
- 2S (s) + O₂ (g) → 2SO (g)
- 2S (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2SO₃ (g)
Explanation:
<em>Combustion</em> is a reaction with oxygen. The products of the reaction are oxides, and energy is released in the form of heat and light.
<em>Sulfur</em> iis a nonmetal, so the oxide formed is a nonmetal oxide.
The most common oxidation numbers of sulfur are -2, + 2, + 4, and + 6.
The combination of sulfur with oxygen may be only with the positive oxidation numbers (+2, + 4, and +6).
Then you have three different equations for sulfur combustion:
<u>1) Oxidation number +2:</u>
Which when balanced is: 2S(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO(g)
<u>2) Oxitation number +4:</u>
That equation is already balanced.
<u>3) Oxidation number +6:</u>
Which when balanced is: 2S(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)
