Eclipses

How do FErs explain solar and lunar eclipses?

Shadow object

So, a "shadow object" blocks the sun's rays that would have shone on the moon...

Why, then, can you not see the shadow object when the sun is shining on it?

Also, if the sun's rays are vertical, how is the moon illuminated at all? If the moon is the same altitude as the sun, there would be no illumination if there are no horizontal sun rays. If the moon is below the sun, the surface facing earth would always be in shadow. The second seems more likely since your explanation for solar eclipses is that the moon passes between the earth and the sun.

Your explanation is flawed, and the notion of an invisible shadow object is absurd.

Why, then, can you not see the shadow object when the sun is shining on it?

The shadow object is a satellite of the sun and is always on the "day" side of the earth. It is blotted out of the sky by the rays of the sun hitting the atmosphere, just as every other celestial body is blotted out of the sky during the day.

Also, if the sun's rays are vertical, how is the moon illuminated at all?

The sun emits light in all directions. Rays which are emitted horizontally pass easier between the sun and moon because there is no atmosphere to impair them.

Keep it on topic.

I guess seasons don't matter anymore either.
