Answer:
1047 miles
Explanation:
The radius of the Earth is
(miles)
So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by
Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:
The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days
In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon
in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)
Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.
28/2 = 14
Answer is 14
It could rotate while not advancing distance
