solar eclipse, the Moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun. What is the distance between the Moon and the Sun at that particular time?
Solution:
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.496 x 10s km
= 1.496 x 108 x 103 m = 1496 x 108 m
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 x108 m.
The distance between the Moon and the Sun at particular time (solar eclipse) = (1496 x 108-3.84 x 108)m = 1492. 16 x 108 m
