A lunar eclipse is a celestial phenomenon in which Moon enters into the Earth's shadow. The eclipse can occur only when the Earth, Sun, and Moon are aligned.

The explanations for the given questions are as follows:

Option A. Solar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse is defined as the passing of the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. All three celestial objects are aligned in a single line, which leaves a moving region of Earth's shadow.

2. Option B. The lunar eclipse occurs only when there is a full moon.

The eclipse takes place only when the moon is in the full moon phase. The moon passes through the Earth's shadow, which is made by penumbra and umbra.

3. Option B. Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon's surface

The lunar eclipse is formed in three ways, depending on the blockage of sunrays. In the penumbra region, the moon passes through the second shadow. In a partial eclipse, the moon passes through the umbra shadow region.

4. Option D. When an object in space comes between the sun and earth

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between the Earth and Moon. The sun casts its shadow over the Earth. A solar eclipse takes place when the moon is in the new moon phase.

5. Option C. A total Lunar Eclipse

The total lunar eclipse will occur in the umbra region, such that events are clearly visible. The surface of the moon is red-colored and 35% of the entire eclipse is a total eclipse.

6. Option B. Wide, dark, and strange spots

Galileo invented the telescope to observe celestial objects. While observing the moon through his telescope, Galileo finds the surface of the moon to be wide, dark and having strange spots. He represented the moon craters as the dark regions, which were shown by the long shadows.

7. Option C. Waxing gibbous

There are several phases of the moon, such as crescent, new moon, first quarter, waxing gibbous, and full moon, and many more. The light or the sun rays are reflected maximum at the waxing gibbous phase of the moon.

8. Option A. new moon

The moon cycle consists of new moon-new crescent-first quarter-waxing gibbous-full moon-waning gibbous-last quarter-old crescent-new moon phases. The new moon phase cannot be seen becasue the sun ray does not reach the moon and therefore cannot be reflected back.

9. Option D.  Because the Southern Hemisphere has more direct sunlight

The Southern Hemisphere receives the sunrays at an angle during the winters. In winters Northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, making it colder than the southern hemisphere. During such turning, the southern hemisphere experiences summers.

1.A solar eclipse .

It is one that occurs when the moon gets between the Earth and the Sun and it casts its shadow over the Earth. A solar eclipse only happens during the phase of new moon when the moon is indirect blockage of sun rays from reaching the earth thus causing a full shadow of the moon to fall on the Earth’s surface.

2 A lunar eclipse can only occur when there is a full moon. An eclipse of the moon happens only at full moon and only when the moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow. The shadow in made of a two cone-shaped components, one which is nested inside the other.

3.  Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon's surface. There are three categories of lunar eclipse according to the blockage of the sun rays. In a penumbral lunar eclipse, the moon passes through Earth’s penumbral shadow. The partial lunar eclipse occurs when a portion of the moon passes through Earth’s umbral shadow. The total lunar eclipse happens when the entire moon passes through Earth’s umbral shadow.

4.When an object in space comes between the sun and earth. It is one that occurs when the moon gets between the Earth and the Sun and it casts its shadow over the Earth. A solar eclipse only happens during the phase of new moon when the moon is indirect blockage of sun rays from reaching the earth thus causing a full shadow of the moon to fall on the Earth’s surface.

5.A total lunar eclipse. In this type of lunar eclipse, the events are clearly visible and striking to view because the Moon surface appear red in color. During the occurrence of the lunar eclipse events, 35% of the entire eclipse is total eclipse.

6. Wide, dark areas and strange spots and ridges –Galileo described the surface of the moon as being uneven and rough. In addition to that, he described the surface as crowded with depressions and bulges. In his original sketches, the long shadows cast by craters were represented by dark sided of the moon sketch.

7. Waxing gibbous .During the cycle of the moon, it undergoes several phases; new moon-new crescent-first quarter-waxing gibbous-full moon-waning gibbous-last quarter-old crescent-new moon. The new moon phase cannot be seen because the part receiving sun rays in then pointed away from the earth. The rest of the phases are visible from the earth.

8. New moon .

During the cycle of the moon, it undergoes several phases; new moon-new crescent-first quarter-waxing gibbous-full moon-waning gibbous-last quarter-old crescent-new moon. The new moon phase cannot be seen because the part receiving sun rays in then pointed away from the earth. The rest of the phases are visible from the earth.

9. Because the Southern Hemisphere has more direct sunlight .During the winter months, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, thus it receive sunrays at an angle thus it experiences the cold weather. At this period, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
