The Moon is much smaller than the Sun, yet it can block the Sun completely from our view during Class 7
The Moon is much smaller than the Sun, yet it can block the Sun completely from our view during a total solar eclipse. Why is it possible? Class 7
Answer:
Due to the vast difference of distance, the apparent sizes of the Moon and the Sun are almost same when viewed from Earth. The Moon can block the Sun completely during a total solar eclipse because it is much closer to the Earth than the Sun.
