Hi. The Moon's shadow can only be as large as the Moon at maximum. The shadow is cone shaped and gets smaller as it nears Earth. Sometimes the shadow does not reach Earth and we get an annular eclipse.

Because the distance between the moon and the earth and the size of the moon causes the shadow of the moon to be that small on the earth's surface.

The shadow of moon at this distance is small.Its width may be maximum of about 150KM.

Because it represents a shadow the size of the diameter of the Moon. The Moon is a lot smaller than the Earth, therefore the shadow covers a small area.

Jessica S

well its simple its because the moon is quite small in comparison to the earth and therefore its shadow cannot cover the earth's entire surface
