Question 13
Brief Explanations

A solar eclipse happens during a new moon when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light. Lunar eclipse is when Earth is between Moon and Sun. Umbra and penumbra are shadow regions, not eclipse types here.

Brief Explanations

"Waxing" moon means the illuminated part we see from Earth is increasing, moving toward full moon. Waning is decreasing, full is fully lit, dark is new moon.

Brief Explanations

"Waning" moon means the illuminated portion visible from Earth is decreasing, after full moon toward new moon. Waxing is increasing, full is fully lit, dark is new moon.
