That's the only answer I know sorry po
Answer:
1. A. Fullmoon
A lunar eclipse can occur only at full moon. A total lunar eclipse can happen only when the sun, Earth and moon are perfectly lined up — anything less than perfection creates a partial lunar eclipse or no eclipse at all.
2. B. Sun, Moon, Earth
For a solar eclipse to take place, the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth must be aligned in a perfect or near-perfect straight line – an alignment astronomers call syzygy. This happens around new Moon every lunar month
3. D. Umbra
The umbra is the dark center portion of a shadow. The Moon's umbra causes total solar eclipses, and the Earth's umbra is involved in total and partial lunar eclipses. The umbra is the darkest type of shadow.
4. A. Eclipse
The partial or total blocking of light of one celestial object by another. An eclipse of the Sun or Moon occurs when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned.
5. A. Sun, Moon, Earth
Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line.
6. B. Red orange
Even though the moon is in the Earth's shadow, some light does manage to hit the lunar surface during the eclipse, and this is what gives the moon its crimson glow, for the same reason that the sky is blue, and sunsets on Earth appear orange, pink, and red.
7. D. The moon shadow on earth
Sometimes when the Moon orbits Earth, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth. When this happens, the Moon blocks the light of the Sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the Sun, or a solar eclipse.
8. A. Penumbra of the moon
The observer is inside the Moon's penumbra. Only see part of the Sun covered by the Moon.
9. D.
10. A. partial lunar
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth's shadow and grows dark. If the moon passes through the umbra and no part of the moon remains outside the umbra in the partial sunlight of the penumbra, the eclipse is a total lunar eclipse.
