How is it possible that an area of the world can go temporarily dark in the middle of the
day?

As you know earth rotates and so does the sun and moon, and occasionaly the moon will cover sun when its souposed to be day but this would only happen very rarely because it takes planets a very long time to overlap when rotating the orbit.

This is possible through a solar eclipse.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The solar eclipse occurs when the moon places itself between the earth and the sun. This ends up causing a blockage of sunlight, which cannot reach as it hits the moon.

The moon, in turn, casts a shadow that darkens the earth, even at midday. This effect is temporary and wears off after a few hours.

Narrative Essay on The Topic “if I had a Time machine” in 200 words.
plz... need help guys.
​

Paige has been asked to respond to this excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

I found that at college I could get help from my teachers with solving business problems and in learning new techniques for designing new things. I enjoyed talking to my professors and learning physics and other complex subjects--but I never had time to go to class. I literally never went to class. My professors were mentors and private tutors. The professors gave me as much time as they reasonably could. Every once in a while one would say, "Sorry, I've got to go teach a class"--and leave.

What is the best educated opinion that Paige can include in her response?

Kamen was a lazy college student.
Kamen had a strong desire to learn.
Kamen's favorite subject was physics.
Kamen paid his professors to tutor him

Read the following poem, You Begin, by Margaret Atwood.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
You Begin
by Margaret Atwood

You begin this way:
this is your hand,
this is your eye,
that is a fish, blue and flat
on the paper, almost
the shape of an eye.
This is your mouth, this is an O
or a moon, whichever
you like. This is yellow.

Outside the window
is the rain, green
because it is summer, and beyond that
the trees and then the world,
which is round and has only
the colors of these nine crayons.

This is the world, which is fuller
and more difficult to learn than I have said.
You are right to smudge it that way
with the red and then
the orange: the world burns.

Once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
The word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
The word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
I hold between two words.

This is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,
which is round but not flat and has more colors
than we can see.

It begins, it has an end,
this is what you will
come back to, this is your hand.

The end

Both roller skating and ice skating are fun ways to spend time with your friends and get some exercise.
With roller skating, you can use roller skates or roller blades. Roller skates have one wheel on each of the four corners of the skate. Roller blades have four wheels down the middle of the shoe. Roller skating can be done on any smooth surface, such as a floor, a street, or a sidewalk.
In contrast, ice skates have a metal blade on the bottom of each shoe. The blade helps the skaters glide along the ice. There are two kinds of ice skates: figure skates and hockey skates. Figure skates have a toe pick, or a sharp end that helps skaters grip the ice and prevent skidding. Hockey skates do not have a toe pick, but they are heavier boots that have a thicker blade. In addition, ice skating must take place on the ice, either at a rink or on a frozen lake.
