Part 1: Choose the correct answer



We are given two diagrams showing the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. We need to identify whether each represents a Lunar Eclipse or a Solar Eclipse.

---

#### Diagram 1:
- Order: Earth → Moon → Sun
- The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon.
- This means the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon.

This is a Lunar Eclipse — when the Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon.

> Correct Answer: Lunar Eclipse

---

#### Diagram 2:
- Order: Moon → Earth → Sun
- The Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.
- This means the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching the Earth.

This is a Solar Eclipse — when the Moon blocks sunlight from reaching parts of the Earth.

> Correct Answer: Solar Eclipse

---

Part 2: Write the name of the Eclipse



Now we are shown two images:

#### Image 1:
- Shows a dark disk (Moon) in front of the Sun with a glowing ring around it.
- This is the corona of the Sun visible during a total eclipse.

This is a Solar Eclipse (specifically a Total Solar Eclipse).

> Answer: Solar Eclipse

---

#### Image 2:
- Shows the Moon appearing red or dark in the sky.
- This happens when the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon.

This is a Lunar Eclipse (often called a "Blood Moon" due to the reddish color caused by Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight).

> Answer: Lunar Eclipse

---

Final Answers:



#### Choose the correct answer:
1. Earth → Moon → Sun → Lunar Eclipse
2. Moon → Earth → Sun → Solar Eclipse

#### Write the name of the Eclipse:
1. Image of black disk with glowing ring → Solar Eclipse
2. Image of red moon → Lunar Eclipse
