Question
why will people in the path of totality be able to see the sun's corona?A.Because the moon will fully conceal the sun, leaving the corona visible from EarthB.Because the sun will fully conceal the moon, making the corona visible in the sunlightC.Because scientists will collect data, enabling observers to easily identify the coronaD.Because observers will borrow NASA technology, including devices to view the corona
Solution
The correct answer is A. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun. This causes the moon to fully conceal the sun, leaving only the sun's corona (the outermost part of the sun's atmosphere) visible from Earth. The corona is usually hidden by the bright light of the sun's surface, making it difficult to see without the aid of a total solar eclipse. The other options (B, C, and D) are incorrect because the sun does not conceal the moon during a total solar eclipse, and viewing the corona does not require data collection or special technology.
