Answer:

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

Explanation:

As we know that the mass of the object is the measurement of the quantity of the matter that is present in it

So here we can say that if the mass of the object is m then its total quantity of the matter that is present in it is given as

mass = (density)\times (volume)

Now for the weight of the object is defined as the force of gravity due to planet

F_g = mg

so the weight of the object is depending on the acceleration due to gravity of the planet

As we know that the gravity of moon is smaller than the gravity of the earth so here weight on the moon will be smaller than the weight on the Earth

so correct answer will be

a) Mass is the same, weight is less.

mass is the same, weight is less because weight =mass ×gravity

1) <span>A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from earth to completely cover the sun can be either a partial solar eclipse or an -->
Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n)  --> 
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>
