Day and night, and the Moon's faces, sentence 12
In an eclipse of the Sun the Moon passes exactly between the Sun and the Earth; the Sun is about 400 times wider than the Moon but also about 400 times further away, so they look the same size.
Who acts: Moon, Sun, sailors · What happens: pass, be, look, eclipse · To what, where: eclipse, same size, Sun
