Let's solve the problem step by step.
---
Part 1: Choose the correct answer
We are given two diagrams showing the positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. We need to identify whether each scenario represents a
Lunar Eclipse or a
Solar Eclipse.
####
Diagram 1:
- Order:
Earth → Moon → Sun
- The Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.
- This means the Moon blocks the Sun’s light from reaching the Earth.
✔ This is a
Solar Eclipse because the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth.
>
✔ Correct answer:
Solar Eclipse
####
Diagram 2:
- Order:
Moon → Earth → Sun
- The Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.
- The Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon.
✔ This is a
Lunar Eclipse because the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.
>
✔ Correct answer:
Lunar Eclipse

Part 2: Write the name of the Eclipse
We are shown two images:
####
Image 1:
- Shows the
Sun completely blocked by a dark circle (the Moon), with a glowing ring around it (corona).
- This is a
Total Solar Eclipse.
>
✔ Answer:
Solar Eclipse
####
Image 2:
- Shows the
Moon appearing red in the sky.
- This is known as a
Blood Moon, which occurs during a
Lunar Eclipse when Earth's atmosphere bends sunlight and casts a reddish glow on the Moon.
>
✔ Answer:
Lunar Eclipse
---
✔ Final Answers:
####
Choose the correct answer:
1. Earth – Moon – Sun →
Solar Eclipse
2. Moon – Earth – Sun →
Lunar Eclipse
####
Write the name of the Eclipse:
1. First image (black circle with glowing edge) →
Solar Eclipse
2. Second image (red moon) →
Lunar Eclipse

🌞 Summary:
-
Solar Eclipse: Moon blocks the Sun (seen from Earth).
-
Lunar Eclipse: Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon.
