What is the difference between solar and lunar eclipse?

Geography

Anarel [89]3 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.

ra1l [238]

Question A

Correct option is (iii) sought after, as it is indicated in the passage that "I was overwhelmed with gratuitous advice". Gratuitous means not required, or not necessary. Hence the author was not asking for advice, it was not sought after

Question B

Correct option is (iv) when he was on the steamer. It is indicated at the end of the passage that "The fellow passengers in the steamer began to advise us". After reading the statement, "I should want them after leaving Aden", you might feel that the correct option could be (ii) when he was in Aden, but the passage doesn't give enough information to confirm that the advice was give at the point when he was in Aden

Question C

The correct option is (iii) meat-eating would keep him healthy. It is indicated in the passage that "The majority of them said I couldn't do without meat in the cold climate. I would catch consumption.". Hence, the meat was supposed to keep him healthy and not catch consumption.

Question D

The correct option is (iv) he had promised his mother he would not do so. It is indicated in the passage that "My mother, before consenting to my departure, had exacted a promise from me not to take meat. So, I was bound not to take it, if only for the sake of the promise.".
