shasha12:

Under what conditions can an eclipse occur? A. sun blocks the moon B. moon blocks the sun C. moon blocks earth D. sun blocks earth

BenLindquist:

b

BenLindquist:

The Moon then appears too small to completely block out the disk of the Sun. During a solar eclipse, the Moon actually casts two shadows toward Earth. One shadow is called the umbra which becomes smaller as it reaches the Earth. This is the dark center of the Moon's shadow.

shasha12:

ok, thank you

Hanna:

The moon cast over the sun, so I agree with @BenLindquist. B is the correct answer.
