2) Case Study: 5M
One day, Riya was excited to observe a solar eclipse happening in her town. She noticed
that during the solar eclipse, the Moon came between the Earth and the Sun, partially
blocking the sunlight. Her teacher had warned her not to look directly at the Sun during
the eclipse without using proper safety glasses. She also learned that solar eclipses occur
only on a new moon day.
Later, her friend Rahul mentioned a lunar eclipse, where the Earth blocks sunlight from
reaching the Moon. He explained that lunar eclipses occur only on a full moon day and are
safe to observe with the naked eye.
Questions:
1. Assertion (A): A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and
the Sun.
Reason (R): Solar eclipses can occur on any day of the lunar cycle.
Options:
a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
