Question

1. base your answer to the following question on the diagram below, which shows earth in orbit around the sun, and the moon in orbit around earth. ( m_1, m_2, m_3 ), and ( m_4 ) indicate positions of the moon in its on letter ( a ) indicates a location on earths surface. at which moon position could a solar eclipse be seen from earth? (1) ( m_1 ) (2) ( m_2 ) (3) ( m_3 ) (4) ( m_4 )

Explanation:

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is directly between the Sun and Earth. In the diagram, this alignment is represented by position \(M_1\). At \(M_1\), the Moon can block the Sun's light as seen from Earth.
