A) when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth.
B) when the Earth comes between the Sun and Moon.
C) when the Sun conies between the Earth and Moon.
D) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The eclipse of Sun occurs when the Moon comes between Sun and the Earth. The Moon orbits the Earth once a month, and eclipses happen if it lines up exactly with the Earth and the Sun. Solar eclipses occur at New Moon, when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur at Full Moon, when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. Eclipses do not take place even month because the orbits of the Moon and Earth are tilted at an angle. Most of the time, the line- up is not precise enough for an eclipse.
