Reference no: EM13514002

During a lunar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Earth between the Moon and the Sun. The Moon has a mass of 7.36 × 1022 kg; the Earth has a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg; and the Sun has a mass of 1.99 × 1030 kg. The separation between the Moon and the Earth is given by 3.84 × 108 m; the separation between the Earth and the Sun is given by 1.496 × 1011 m.
