HELP ASAP PLS i only have 15 mins left
What is the term used to describe the curved path of an object around a planet or star?
-orbit
robot u did not help me at all
I apologize if my previous answers did not meet your expectations. Here are the correct answers to the questions you asked:
1. You are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse because only people on the daytime side of Earth can see a solar eclipse and the moon’s umbra only covers a small area on Earth’s surface.
2. For a lunar eclipse to occur, Earth must be directly between the sun and the moon.
3. The first scientist to describe the moon saw that much of its surface was covered with round pits called craters.
4. The moon’s average density is about the same as the density of Earth's outer layers.
5. From new moon phase to full moon phase, an observer on Earth sees an increasing amount of the lighted side of the moon.
6. The term used to describe the curved path of an object around a planet or star is orbit.
I hope these answers are helpful to you.
To answer your first question, you are less likely to see a total solar eclipse than a total lunar eclipse because the moon's umbra, the dark central region of its shadow, only covers a small area on Earth's surface. This means that only a narrow path on Earth's surface will experience a total solar eclipse. In contrast, a lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth.
For a lunar eclipse to occur, Earth must be directly between the sun and the moon. This alignment causes Earth's shadow to fall on the moon, resulting in a lunar eclipse. Conversely, a solar eclipse only occurs when the moon is directly between the sun and Earth, and its shadow is cast on Earth's surface.
The first scientist to describe the moon observed that much of its surface was covered with round pits called maria, which means "seas" in Latin. These dark, flat areas on the moon's surface were once thought to be bodies of water, but they are actually solidified lava flows.
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of Earth's outer layers. This indicates that the moon is made up of a similar composition to Earth but is less dense overall. The exact value of the moon's density is about one-quarter that of Earth's outer layers.
From the new moon phase to the full moon phase, an observer on Earth would see an increasing amount of the lighted side of the moon. During the new moon phase, the moon is located between Earth and the sun, so its dark side faces us. As the moon orbits around Earth, more and more of the lighted side becomes visible, eventually reaching the full moon phase where the entire lighted side is visible.
I hope this information helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
