A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun and completely
blocks out the Sun. This phenomenon is very spectacular and attracts people from all cultures.
However, total solar eclipses can also take place on other planets of the Solar System.
Determine for each of the following moons if they can create a total solar eclipse on their planet.
Radius Distance to Planet Planet Distance to the Sun
228 x 10° km
Moon
Phobos 11 km
Callisto 2410 km
