Based on the diagram labeled
Figure 1 shown on the tablet screen in the image, here are the answers to the questions visible:
Step-by-step Analysis:
1.
Identify the alignment: The diagram shows the Sun on the right, the Moon in the middle, and the Earth on the left. They are lined up in a straight row.
2.
Determine the shadow: Because the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, the Moon casts a shadow onto the Earth. The dark inner part of the shadow is the
umbra, and the lighter outer part is the
penumbra.
3.
Identify the Eclipse Type: When the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, it is called a
Solar Eclipse. Specifically, since the diagram shows the shadow hitting the Earth, people standing in that shadow would see the Sun blocked out.
4.
Identify the Moon Phase: A solar eclipse can only happen when the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun. During this time, the side of the Moon facing Earth is in shadow (dark). This phase is called the
New Moon.
Answers to the specific questions on the worksheet:
