There are about the same number of lunar eclipses and solar eclipses in a given period (224 solar eclipses and 230 lunar eclipses in the 21st century, for instance). Therefore, we are equally likely to observe either type of eclipses from Berkeley.[NB: let\'s pretend that the weather is always favorable even though this is far from true!] 4. a. True b. False 5. The observed location of planets around their parent star does not necessarily indicate where they originally formed. a. True b. False 6. The Earth\'s surface spins as a solid body, i.e, all points on the surface of the planet execute one revolution around the planet\'s axis in the exact same amount of time (just under 24h, a sidereal day). Therefore the length of time between sunrise and sunset is the same at all points on the planet. a. True b. False
Q. 1 b. False.
Reason: Overall on the Earth there are equal number of solar and lunar eclipses but if observed from specific point (Berkeley in this case) lunar eclipses occure more. Because size of the Earth much bigger than size of the Moon, shadow of the Earth is bigger and shadow of the Moon is less.
Q. 2 b. False.
Reason: Generally, planet formation occurse after collision of massive stars. The remnent gets cooled resulting into planet and starts orbiting around that planet. Gravitational effect of other planets can be neglected because of high gravitational field of a star. So, in general position of star indicates where they original formed.
Q. 3 b. False.
Reason: Not only Earth rotates around an axis but that axis too precesses. So, Length of time is going to be different on the planet
