Does twilight occur before a solar eclipse is about to take place?

User Avatar

Asked by DiamondXmas

Twilight occurs before sunrise and after sunset when the Sun is below the horizon. A solar eclipse takes place when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight. While twilight is related to the position of the Sun in the sky, a solar eclipse is caused by the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.

What do we say when the sun goes down over the horizon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We say that it is 'setting,' but this is apparent motion, and not true motion. The same is true for the rising and setting of the moon and fixed stars.

There is another spectacular example of apparent motion that is different from true motion. Because the moon 'rises' in the east and 'sets' in the west, it is easy to think that it is "moving" from east to west. In fact, the moon's orbit around the earth is from west to east. The slow (monthly) orbit of the moon along with the 24-hour rotation of the earth give us the impression of the moon's apparent motion.

Why do pugs stay in the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pugs may stay in the sun because they enjoy the warmth and the feeling of basking in the sunlight. However, it's important to monitor their time in the sun as they are prone to overheating and can suffer from heatstroke. It's best to provide them with a shaded area and plenty of fresh water to prevent any health risks associated with prolonged sun exposure.

What mass of material with a long tail travels around the sun?

The mass of a comet can range from a few million kilograms to billions of kilograms.

What kind of energy do plants get from the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Sunlight - this is used by the green pigments in plant leaves, in a process called photosynthesis, to make sugars on which the pant then lives. All animal life on the surface of Earth eats plants to survive and therefore all life on earth (apart form some specialist examples) live on sunlight. Plants can also grow from normal light hence photosynthesis

but it is very smelly (:

and its very interesting to learn about (:
