Unit Review

Which of the definitions below correctly identifies a lunar eclipse?

• When the moon casts a shadow on the Earth. The moon blocks the sunlight from hitting the earth.

• Setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time ahead during the summer months (in order to make better use of natural daylight).

• Setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time back again in the fall (in order to make better use of natural daylight).

• When the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. The earth blocks the sunlight from hitting the moon.

According to this diagram, is there ANY sort of eclipse (lunar or solar) taking place?

• Yes, there are both kinds of eclipses taking place. I know this because there is a shadow on both the moon and the Earth. Shadows on celestial objects is what causes eclipses.

• No, there is no eclipse taking place. I know this because there is no shadow being created on either the moon or the Earth. Shadows on celestial objects is what causes eclipses.

• Yes, there is a lunar eclipse taking place. I know this because there is a shadow the moon. Shadows on the moon is what causes lunar eclipses.

• Yes, there is a solar eclipse taking place. I know this because there is a shadow the Earth. Shadows on the Earth is what causes solar eclipses.
