Question

If an observer on Earth sees a total lunar eclipse, Group of answer choices everyone on the nighttime side of Earth is seeing it. someone elsewhere on Earth must be seeing a partial lunar eclipse. someone elsewhere on Earth must be seeing a total solar eclipse

Answer 1

Answer:

everyone on the nighttime side of Earth is seeing it.

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Generally, if an observer on Earth sees a total lunar eclipse, everyone on the nighttime side of Earth is seeing it because it's quite easy to see a total lunar eclipse while the full moon passes through the innermost part of the shadow of the earth.
