What is an eclipse?
The term eclipse is most frequently used to depict either a sun based eclipse, when the Moon’s shadow crosses the earth’s surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the earth’s shadow. Nonetheless, it can likewise allude to such occasions past the Earth-Moon framework: for instance, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its host planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon. A binary star framework can likewise create eclipses in the event that the plane of the circle of its constituent stars converges the spectator’s position. For the exceptional cases of solar and lunar eclipses, these just occur during an “eclipse season”, the twice of every year when the plane of the earth’s circle around the Sun crosses with the plane of the Moon’s circle around the Earth and the line characterized by the meeting planes focuses close to the Sun.
