Answer:

a lunar eclipse

Explanation:

The shadow that Aristotle saw was caused by a lunar eclipse. At that time the sun, earth, and the moon nearly straight alignment caused the Earth's shadow to be reflected on the moon. This shadow is what ultimately led Aristotle to believe that the Earth was a sphere. This should not be confused with a solar eclipse which is similar but instead the sun, moon, and earth align in that order which causes the moon to completely block the sun to anyone on earth.

What is the path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space is
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space.

Explanation:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space. It is different from rotation which is a phenomenon where a body revolves around its own axis. For example, we can assume the motion of earth as revolution when it travels around the sun and completes one complete revolution in one year, on the other hand when it moves around its own axis the day and night transformation happens.  We can also take the example of moon which revolves around the earth and many other planets which revolve around the sun. So it is very easy to understand the concept of revolution.

Hope it helps!
