Question : 36 [SSC Delhi Police SI 2015]

In a solar or lunar eclipse, the region of the earth’s shadow is divided into

a) Two parts

b) Three parts

c) Four parts

d) Five parts

Discuss »

Answer: (b)

An eclipse occurs when a star (such as Sun) aligns with two celestial bodies, such as a planet and a moon. The closer body casts a shadow that intersects the more distant body. This means that “things get dark.”

The region of the shadow is divided into an umbra, where the light from the star is completely blocked, and a penumbra, where only a portion of the light is blocked.

Beyond the end of the umbra is a region called the antumbra. For an observer inside the antumbra of a solar eclipse, for example, the moon appears smaller than the sun, resulting in an annular eclipse.
