2.The Moon only partially covers the Sun during the eclipse.The Moon only partially covers the Sun during the eclipse.

3.Moon in perigee orbit; Moon moves a direct line between Sun and Earth; Moon in new moon phase.

4.The Earth's umbra fits inside the Moon creating an illuminated ring known as a annular eclipse.

The right answer to number four is

The Earth's umbra only cover a part of the Moon causing a circular shadow to pass across it.

A partial lunar eclipse happens when the Earth's umbra part moves across the Moon making a circular shadow across the Moon. An annular lunar eclipse is not possible because the Earth's umbra is always larger than surface of the Moon even if the orbits are in apogee.

Define homologous structures and explain how these structures support evidence of common ancestry

Andrews [41]

<span>Homologous structures are framework where the parts of the body is similar in structure to different species of common ancestry. The way structures develop in embryos and the pattern in which they appeared over evolutionary history. In addition, the evidence of this common ancestry can be seen in the structure and development of these homologous structures, even if the existence of these structures adapted to different function as the result from a collective ancestry. </span>

Define atomic number and mass number – describe how they differ

larisa86 [58]

Answer:The major difference between atomic number and mass number is that the atomic number states the number of protons present in an atom whereas, the mass number indicates the total of the number of protons and the number neutrons present in an atom.i) Atomic number is the total number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom. It is also equal to the number of electrons for a neutral atom. Example, atomic number of sodium is 11. ii) Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus taken together. For example, mass number of sodium is 23 g/mol.

hope this helps have a great night❤️❤️❤️❤️
