Isn't gravitational attraction proportional to the (product of?) two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them?

Sigh...I used to know all that stuff... Now where did I misplace my Sears and Zemansky?

Doesn't the Transit last far longer than any eclipse? Besides which, how much effect does an eclipse have anyway? Has anyone bothered to check it out.

I regretted my post soon after making it.

However it seems a valid point. The totality is brief, but the obstruction during the moons transit does make a major disruption energy loss on earth. Chickens go to sleep etc....

I lack the mathmatical skills to write and solve the summation of the energy disruption for both of the transits and make a comparison.

My gut feeling is the eclipse of the moon provides the greater disruption.
