Angular diameter

The angular diameter, angular size, apparent diameter, or apparent size is an angular distance describing how large a sphere or circle appears from a given point of view.

See Magnitude of eclipse and Angular diameter

Apparent magnitude

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

See Magnitude of eclipse and Earth

An eclipse is an astronomical event which occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. Magnitude of eclipse and eclipse are eclipses.

Lunar distance

The instantaneous Earth–Moon distance, or distance to the Moon, is the distance from the center of Earth to the center of the Moon.

Lunar eclipse

A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. Magnitude of eclipse and lunar eclipse are eclipses.

Magnitude (astronomy)

In astronomy, magnitude is measure of the brightness of an object, usually in a defined passband.

Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially. Magnitude of eclipse and solar eclipse are eclipses.
