What is the difference between solar and lunar eclipse?

Anarel [89]2 years ago

A lunar eclipse happens on the moon, when the moon sails through the  Earth's wide, fat shadow.  Then, for a while, no sunlight can reach the moon, because the Earth is in the way.  Anybody on the night side of Earth who looks up toward the moon sees it turn dark, until it sails out of the Earth's shadow after an hour or two.

A solar eclipse happens on the Earth, when the narrow end of the moon's skinny shadow falls somewhere on the surface of the Earth.  Then, people who are inside that small spot and look up toward the sun can't see it, because the moon is in the way.  The moon is moving so fast, and its shadow is so small, that this can only last for a few minutes at any one place.

<h3>How were they aware of the impending eruption of Mount Pinatubo?</h3>

Seismic data and an increase in sulfur dioxide released from the volcano by May 1991 suggested to scientists that the volcano's magma chambers were being filled with new magma. The rapidly expanding lava dome on Pinatubo hinted at a forthcoming large-scale eruption.
