During an eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are arranged in a line as shown in Figure P5.59. There are two types of eclipse: (a) a lunar eclipse, when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, and (b) a solar eclipse, when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth. Calculate the percentage change in your weight when going from one type of eclipse to the other.
