Eclipse Conditions. The Moon’s precise equatorial diameter is 3476 km, and its orbital distance from Earth varies between 356,400 and 406,700 km. The Sun’s diameter is 1,390,000 km, and its distance from Earth ranges between 147.5 and 152.6 million km. Find the Moon’s angular size at its minimum and maximum distances from Earth. Find the Sun’s angular size at its minimum and maximum distances from Earth. Based on your answers to parts a and b, is it possible to have a total solar eclipse when the Moon and Sun are both at their maximum distance? Explain.
