Question

like does the moon disapear during a lunar eclipse and the sun disappears during a solar eclipse? also is each tide cycle 12 hours??
thanks!!

Answer 1

In a solar eclipse, the moon blocks the light coming from the sun.
In a lunar eclipse, the moon is behind the earth, so all of the light coming from the sun is blocked. Thus none is being reflected and the moon seems to disappear.

Yes, tides are in cycles of about 12 hours.

Answer 2

Nothing "disappears" during eclipses.

During a solar eclipse, the moon moves between the earth and the sun and casts a shadow on the earth. So the light of the sun is blocked, but nothing has "disappeared".

Similarly, during a lunar eclipse, the earth moves between the moon and the sun, and the earth casts a shadow on the moon. So the light of the sun that would normally fall on the moon is blocked by the earth, but again, nothing has "disappeared".

The tides are caused by the gravity of the moon pulling on the water of the oceans. The moon goes around the earth once every 24 hours, and the tides go from high to low every 12 hours as a result. You can look at the web site for more info, but it seems kind of complicated.

Answer 3

No, the moon and the sun do not disappear during the eclipse. What disappears is the light from them - that is because of a shadow cast by the earth on the moon (for the lunar eclipse) and the moon obstructing the sun (as seen from earth) in the case of solar eclipse.

That they don't disappear should be evident in partial eclipses when you can see part of them visible.

Answer 4

It is customary to keep the temples closed during eclipse. The devotees can not enter and worship God during the entire period of eclipse. Let us know why this custom is followed. friend, many scholars have already said a lot about the question you asked. I would like TO ADD THAT THE SREE KAALAHASTI TEMPLE NEAR TIRUPATI IS ALSO NOT CLOSED DURING ANY ECLIPSE DAY, THE REASON BEING THERE SHIVA WEARS THE NAVAGRAHAAS AS A BELT AT WAIST.SO NO GRAHAM CAN DO ANY THING, THE ELDERS SAY. Eclipse, either lunar or solar, is regarded as impure and spoiled. The shadows formed due to eclipse make the temples desecrated. According to Hindu mythological beliefs, the spoiling starts well before the commencement of eclipse, and lasts till it is concluded. It is also believed that on visiting the temple during eclipse, wickedness grows and virtuousness diminishes. The temples open only after proper rituals are performed and after proper cleaning. There is a scientific reason also behind this, science says that during the course of eclipse certain ultraviolet rays and soft x-rays emitted from the corona of Sun, which are harmful. In India the temples are kept closed to prevent the masses to come out of their houses, thus avoiding the harmful effects of eclipse.
