What would happen if you were standing on the moon during a solar/lunar eclipse?

Question

Would there be any difference, how ould the earth look, how would the sun look (if you could even see it). What would happen to you?

Answer 1

If you were standing on the moon, facing the Earth. You would see, a dark circle, slowly move across the face of the

Earth. There would be no effect on you.

Answer 2

If you were on the moon on the side facing the Earth during a solar eclipse, you would see the shadow of the moon move across the face of the Earth - the Earth would be "full" to you, you would be in darkness.  The shadow narrows to a point that just touches the Earth's surface, so only a small path on the Earth would be shadowed, and that shadow would move relatively quickly as the moon moves in its orbit.

If you were on the side of the moon facing the Earth during a lunar eclipse, you would see the dark Earth move over the sun and block the light - you would be in shadow, but you would see a ring of reddish light around the Earth that is the light of all the sunsets and sunrises shining throug the atmosphere.  Depending on the moon's location relative to the Earth and the sun, the moon around you may be very dark or could be more like twilight (not all lunar eclipses are total, the moon doesn't always travel through the Earth's umbra).

The temperature around you would drop while you were in Earth's shadow, then climb again when you moved back into sunlight - this would take a few hours.

Answer 4

there are pictures of the moon's shadow on the earth during eclipses taken from satellites. you would see the same thing from teh moon. do a search.

Answer 5

(1) During a solar eclipse you will see black areas and nothing else diffrente.

(2) During a lunar eclipse you can't see the Earth from the moon because the moon is in the Earth's shadow cone (in front of the dark side of the Earth ).

Answer 6

If you were wearing a spacesuit, nothing would happen to you.  Only the moon is getting darker because the sunlight to the Moon is being cut off by the Earth's shadow.  The Earth shouldn't appear any different because you would be looking at the night side anyway.
