The Moon's Movement. Eclipses. Calendars Revision Questions

1. How many days did the 20th century have?

  1. 36 500
  2. 36 523
  3. 36 524
  4. 100 000

Correct Answer: B

2. Calculate the average diameter of total solar eclipse if the distance Earth-Moon is 384 000 km and the distance Sun-Earth is 149.6 million km. Take diameter of Sun = 1.39 million km, diameter of the Earth = 12 576 km and that of Moon = 3476 km. Use the similarity formula of trapezium D/d = H/h where D is the greatest diameter, d is the smallest diameter, H is the greatest distance (height of large trapezium) and h is the smallest distance (height of smaller trapezium).
