 Half 80% Full Eclipse Interesting facts, earth 12,756 km diameter, moon 3,476 km, ratio of 4:1. The sun is 110 times the size of the earth. The distance Earth to moon 384,400 km, earth to sun 149,597,870 km. The shadow of the earth is 0 degrees, 32 seconds in arc or 3,556 km wide at the distance of the moon, the moon is 3,476 km in diameter, thus the earth’s shadow almost covers it!! No wonder the full eclipse is so short, and so rare. |
