Question
Why is an annular lunar eclipse not seen?
✓

Answer

An annular lunar eclipse cannot be seen because:
  • The size of the earth is bigger than that of the moon.
  • As compared to the sun, the moon is close to the earth.
  • Therefore, it is not possible that a dark shadow of the earth is cast in space & does not reach the moon.
