Consider each scenario below. Provide a response for each that includes: A prediction of whether an eclipse that would occur in the scenario. Explain why or why not. If an eclipse would occur, determine the type of eclipse If an eclipse would occur, write a description of the eclipse as viewed from Earth Scenario A: The moon passes between the Sun and Earth at New Moon. The moon is at the upper angle of the 5o tilt of its orbit. Scenario B: The moon passes between the Sun and Earth at New Moon. The moon is fully aligned with the Sun and Earth, and the umbra creates a path of totality. Scenario C: The Earth passes between the Moon and Sun at Full Moon. The moon is at perigee. The bodies are fully aligned.
