How total is a total Eclipse??

To take in all the reasons how our moon creates such a nice eclipse is
amazing. How perfect is it for blocking out the sun's radiation?
What is the total gravitation increase when the sun,and moon are one in
that area? Does a total eclipse case higher tides? Bert

Total' means that the sun's disk is totally blocked from view. You can
see light emitted from the sun's corona which extends past the area
blocked by the moon.

No more so than what happens every lunar month at new moon.

Forbidden subject. LOL

Gravity and tidal forces. If gravity were instant, tides would be instant.

A tiny bit more, I think, as we don't get a total eclipse if the Moon
is near apogee at conjunction. So eliminating annular eclipses will
produce a bias in favour of stronger tides on average.

Astronomers use eclipses lots of ways. In binary systems they can tell
how fast they are circling each other. We might get lucky someday and
find a planet making a total eclipse of its sun. Are radio waves
completely blocked by a total eclipse?(I would think so) The two
particles not blocked by an eclipse are neutrinos,and gravitons. Bert

Are you still sure that gravitons exist?
Don't you like thinking of gravity only as a space distortion?
Or the desire to unify everything is too strong?

Luigi I believe that gravitons exist. I believe "virtual" particles
exist. The neutrino was theorized long before it was discovered. Now we
are trying to show they make up most of our universe's mass(go figure) I
need the graviton to make my "Spin is in" theory work for gravitation.
Luigi I have no problem unifying the 4 forces,because I have always
known the other three were created by gravity. Bert

Sorry for the cold shower but that is not possible unless the planet
is at least as big as it's star. It is a matter of visual
perspective. The Moon does eclipse the Sun because the Moon is near
us and the Sun is far away from us. If both were at the same distance
from us, we would see them both in their relative size. When we look
at an extra solar system, the star and it's planets are essentially at
the same distance from us!

Yes save the extra-long long waves but you need an antennae the size
of a planet to detect them!!

Have a good night!

So you need gravitons to make your theory work... but maybe universe doesn't
need them at all...
That other forces were created from gravity is an hypotesis... but I don't
see any demonstration by now.
I'm waiting experiments with superpowerful colliders to see if it would be
right.
At the moment you can't be so sure... but often, when I read your posts, I
think that you don't have place for doubts in your mind...

Plenty of eclipsing binary stars have been observed, though; I
believe Algol, Beta Persei, is about the brightest. See
