micky made the following diagram shown to represent the lunar eclipse.
diagram of sun, moon, earth
why is micky’s diagram of the lunar eclipse incorrect?

• earth should be between the sun and moon.
• the sun should be between the moon and earth.
• earth should be located vertically above the sun.
• the sun should be located at right angles to the moon.

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Moon. In Micky's diagram, the Moon is between the Sun and Earth, which is incorrect. The correct alignment for a lunar eclipse is Sun - Earth - Moon, so Earth should be between the Sun and Moon.

Answer:

A. Earth should be between the sun and moon.
