how would you explain an eclipse?
user
an eclipse is when the moon passes between the sun and the earth and blocks out some or all of the sun's light from reaching the earth. this can cause a solar eclipse when the moon blocks out the sun, or a lunar eclipse when the earth blocks out the moon's light.
