When the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth and casts a shadow on Earth's surface, there is a (n)

a. lunar eclipse.

b. full Moon.

c. new Moon.

d. solar eclipse.

When the Moon is roughly between the sun and the Earth, we can't see any

of its lighted side, and that's the time of the New Moon.

If it's lined up just right so that its shadow falls on the Earth at the same time,

the people near where its shadow falls see a solar eclipse.
