Which two types of eclipses are included in the material?

• A. Solar eclipse and Lunar eclipse
• B. Partial eclipse and Total eclipse
• C. Lunar eclipse and Solar eclipse
• D. Annular eclipse and Hybrid eclipse

Answer: (C)

Eclipses are grouped by which body blocks the light. In a solar eclipse the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth, blocking sunlight. In a lunar eclipse the Earth sits between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth’s shadow on the Moon. The material covers both of these broad categories, so the two included types are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. Subtypes like partial, total, annular, or hybrid describe how the shadow looks, not the two main categories. The other options mix subtypes and don’t present the two fundamental eclipse kinds in the material.
