What do you think a solar eclipse would look like if more than one Moon were involved? How do i draw it?

Question

That's the question i have to answer. Well i actually have to draw it but i have no clue how to do so.
For example
Do i draw a a sun covered by a moon and next to it a second moon?
it doesn't make any sense! help!

thank you guys!
you won't believe how much you helped me :)
Raymond> huge thank you because of how you explained it to me

Answer 1

It would depend where the second moon is when the first one gets between you and the sun.

One option: Use a total eclipse as seen from Earth (our Moon just barely covers the sun, we still see the corona around the sun). Then add a second moon some distance to one side, shown as a thin crescent. Make sure that the lit part of the crescent is pointing towards the sun (even if it is eclipsed).

Another option:

The sun is almost totally hidden by one Moon (only a "crescent" of sun is still visible). A second moon is covering some of the "crescent" portion of the sun (a rare "double partial eclipse").

Of course, this would only make sense on a world with more than one moon.

In our solar system, our planet is unique in having a moon big enough to cover the sun and cause an eclipse. On other planets, you can only get transits (a small circle of dark travels across the disk of the sun: the sun is still visible and bright). However, it could be possibe (but very rare) to get two dark circles on the sun at the same time.

Jupiter's four Galilean moons are big enough to cast shadows on Jupiter's cloud deck (Jupiter has no real surface to stand on). So if the observer is located at the top of Jupiter's clouds, she could see total eclipses of the Sun with other moons present in the sky.

Answer 2

well the one moon would look like a normal solar eclips, and the seccond one would only be half moon


and why are you trying to draw this, just for fun..., it sounds realy cool
or draw both moons covering half of the sun?

Answer 3

it sounds good to me. moons around planets dont seem to be in a specific order, they just revolve. being no one has actually seen this, how can you be wrong?
