i need answerssss
For the first question:
The answer is A. It is the part of the moon's shadow where the sun is only partially blocked.
For the second question:
The answer is B. moon–Earth–sun.
For the first question, the correct answer is (A) "It is the part of the moon’s shadow where the sun is only partially blocked."
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the Sun's light from directly reaching the Moon. However, not all of the Sun's light is completely blocked, as some of it is bent around the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Moon's surface. The region on the Moon where the Sun is only partially blocked is called the penumbra.
For the second question, the correct answer is (B) "moon–Earth–sun."
During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching certain areas on Earth. The order in which the three celestial bodies align is from the perspective of someone on Earth: first the Moon, then the Earth, and finally, the Sun.
