If the Moon is relatively far from Earth, so that its umbra does not reach Earth, someone directly behind the umbra will see If the Moon is relatively far from Earth, so that its umbra does not reach Earth, someone directly behind the umbra will see an annular eclipse. no eclipse. a partial solar eclipse. a penumbral lunar eclipse. a partial lunar eclipse.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The Umbra refers to the dark portion of the shadow zone where there reaches no light from the source (Sun) because of its opaque property. These shadows are formed during the time of occurrence of an eclipse.

During the time of an annular eclipse, the moon is at the farthest distance from the earth, due to which the moon appears to be much smaller in size and cannot fully cover the Sun. So, this condition gives rise to the formation of a ring-like structure, and light is transferred from the sun through the periphery of the moon. There occurs both the annular solar eclipse and annular lunar eclipse.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
