Question

read the paragraphs from two sources nico is using to research solar eclipses
source 1
\solar\ means relating to the sun. \eclipse\ means to block. a solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the path between the sun and earth. the sun is hidden from earth in that position.
how does this happen? we know that the moon is much smaller than the sun, so how can the moon block our view of the sun? the moon is much closer to earth than the sun is. from our point of view on earth, the moon can look about the same size as the sun.
source 2
an eclipse occurs when one object in space blocks the view of another object in space. from earth, there are two main types of eclipses: lunar and solar. a lunar eclipse occurs when earths shadow hides the moon. a solar eclipse occurs when the moon hides the sun, casting a shadow on part of earth.
nico wants to take notes based on both sources.
which two notes accurately combine information from both sources?

1. there are many kinds of eclipses in space and two types we can see from earth.
2. a lunar eclipse happens when earths shadow blocks sunlight from reaching the moon.
3. some people on earth can see the moon block the sun and its light during a solar eclipse.
4. solar eclipses occur when the view of the sun from a part of earth is blocked by the moon.
5. from earth, the moon can appear to be the same size as the sun, even though the sun is actually much larger.

Explanation:

• Note 3: Source 1 mentions the moon blocking the Sun (solar eclipse), and Source 2 also talks about the moon hiding the Sun (solar eclipse) casting a shadow on Earth. This note combines the idea of the moon blocking the Sun during a solar eclipse from both sources.
• Note 5: Source 1 states that the moon is much smaller than the Sun but can look the same size from Earth. Source 2 doesn't directly contradict this, and this note accurately combines the size - appearance aspect from Source 1.

Answer:

1. Some people on Earth can see the moon block the Sun and its light during a solar eclipse.
2. From Earth, the moon can appear to be the same size as the Sun, even though the Sun is actually much larger.
