What is an eclipse?

Asked by Topperlearning User 30th November 2015, 11:25 AM

Answered by Expert

Answer:

Eclipse are the astronomical events that occur when a celestial body moves into the shadow of other celestial body i.e. the earth and moon aligned in front of the sun cast shadows on each other.
The word eclipse means ‘hidden’ i.e. disappearing or invisible.
- An object is invisible to an observer if:
- The object itself is not a source of light and light from other source is not falling on it.
The view of the object is blocked by an obstacle or it arises between the object and the observer.
The two types of eclipse formed depending upon the moon are solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.
