Answer:

The correct answer is the option<u><em> B) It is a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.</em></u>

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Moon and the Sun, causing the Earth's shadow produced by sunlight to be cast over the Moon completely covering it. For this to happen, the three celestial bodies must be formed in a straight line.

Every year there are between 2 and 7 lunar eclipses. According to the position of the Moon with respect to the Earth's shadow, 3 types of lunar eclipses occur.

The difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse is that, in the first case, the Earth stands between the Moon and the Sun casting a shadow on the Moon, while in a solar eclipse, the Moon stands between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow to a small part of the latter.

Finally, <u><em>the correct answer is the option B) It is a lunar eclipse, in which the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.</em></u>

Does wind have atoms and molecules in it?
Likurg_2 [28]
<span>
Of course.  Wind is air in motion, and the gases in air are composed of
all the usual familiar stuff ... atoms, molecules, mass, etc.  That's how
the wind moves things ... it has momentum and kinetic energy, which
get transferred to the things that move in the wind.</span>

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?
Leokris [45]
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
 The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

 As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
