Answer to Problem AM
Explanation of Solution
When one celestial body blocks the light of another celestial body then this phenomenon is called as eclipse. Depending upon the degree of blocking, the eclipse can be of two types: total eclipse and partial eclipse.
In total eclipse, the light of one body is blocked completely while in partial eclipse the light of one body is blocked partially by another body.
If the light of sun is blocked then it is called as solar eclipse. If the light of the moon is blocked (by the earth) then it is called as lunar eclipse.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the word eclipse can be picked from the list.
