Question

While an observer on Earth sees a total solar eclipse, an astronaut is on the near side of the Moon. What would the astronaut see?

Answer 1

Answer:

The astronaut on the near side of the moon would see the Earth's day side with a dark spot moving across it

Explanation:

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the Earth and casts a shadow over the Earth. When an astronaut is on the near side of the moon, he would see the Earth just fine but with a dark spot (the moon's shadow) moving across the Earth.
