Question

what occurs during a solar eclipse?
earth is closest to the sun.
there are small tides across earth.
the moons shadow falls on earth.
the moon is covered in earths shadow.

Explanation:

During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth. The Moon blocks the Sun's light, and its shadow falls on Earth.

• "Earth is closest to the Sun" is about Earth's orbit (perihelion) and not related to solar eclipse.
• "There are small tides across Earth" is about tidal forces (not directly solar - eclipse related).
• "The moon is covered in Earth's shadow" is a lunar eclipse.

Answer:

The moon's shadow falls on Earth.
