Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above.

A solar eclipse occurs on a new moon day , but not on every new moon day. If and only if the sun , the moon and the earth are in the same plane and fall in one line , the solar eclipses occur. The maximum duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes and 20 seconds (440 seconds).
