Textbook Question
Chapter 24.1, Problem 4bTH
Suppose that this student were walking through the same park during an eclipse of the sun, so that the sun was crescent shaped, rather than round.
What would the student see on the ground in this case? Would it be different than what the student observed on the sunny day? If so, how? If not, why not?

You have enrolled in a scuba diving class and while swimming under water in a nearby lake you look up and note that the Sun appears to be at an angle of 28° from the vertical. At what angle above the horizon does the diving instructor standing on shore see the Sun?
(By the way I tried 38.6 and my teacher said it was wrong)
Lunar eclipses are always eclipses of a full Moon. That is, the Moon is always seen full just before and after Earth’s shadow passes over it. Why is this? Why can we never have a lunar eclipse when the Moon is in its crescent or half-moon phase?

How is it different from the annular eclipse shown in Figure 3-10c? Figure 310 (a) Because the angular diameter of the Moon and the Sun vary slightly, the disk of the Moon is sometimes too small to cover the disk of the Sun. (b) That means the umbra of the Moon does not reach Earth, and the eclipse is annular, meaning a ring ("annulus") of the Sun's disk can be seen around the Moon. (c) In this photograph of an annular eclipse in 1994, the dark disk of the Moon is almost exactly centered on the bright disk of the Sun.arrow_forwardThe photo in Figure UN 3-5 shows the annular eclipse of May 30, 1984.
