Explanation:

Question 9

The umbra is the darkest part of a shadow during an eclipse, while the penumbra is the lighter, partial shadow. So the statement is false.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. So the order is Sun, Moon, Earth.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth is between the Sun and Moon, with Earth's shadow falling on the Moon. So the order is Sun, Earth, Moon.
