@@tonywells6990 Thanks. That's why I pictured it bigger 😀 It makes sense that the total eclipse area should be smaller, but why the whole shadow (including penumbra). Do you know?
@@useyourheadpliz Shadows are made up of an umbra and penumbra. Using some geometry, knowing the distance to the Moon and Sun and the diameters of the three bodies, and a simple calculation you can measure the size of the umbra and penumbra on the Earth's surface and you get a maximum width of the umbra of about 150 miles and about twice the Moon's diameter for the penumbra or about 4300 miles across. But since the penumbra is hardly noticeable further out, the shadow looks about 300 miles across.
@@tonywells6990 Great explanation. I did think the penumbra should be bigger than the real moon, but with geometry and earth atmosphere, I understand why the outer rim would not be noticeable.

Why do the solar panels on this satellite vibrate, given that it's floating in the void with no external kinetic energy to move them?
