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.
Answer:
This question is incomplete, because there is no picture, but I attached one, related with the question. The correct answer Trade winds are shown as number 1.
Explanation:
Trade winds and permamnet winds which blow between Tropic of Cancer, Equator and Tropic of Capricorn (which is between 30 degrees N and 30 degrees S.
These wind always flows from Tropics towards the Eqautor, because around the Eqautor is permanent low pressure area, and around the Tropics is permanent high pressure area. Air always flows from high pressure towards low pressure area.
Due to Earth's rotation trade winds curve a little bit, a they become prevailing Northeasterly Trades (in Northern hemisphere) and Southeasterly Trades (in Southern hemisphere). Earth rotates in west-east direction, and that is the reason for their deflection.
Trade winds got their name in the Age of Discovery (14-15 century) when sailing around the world and explorations were very common. Explorers find out that in specific regions exist winds with permanent direction. That was very importnant in the Middle Ages, so explorers always followed their patterns. Term '<em>trade</em>' is actually from Middle English and it means '<em>track</em>'.
