Real world
You're building a model to demonstrate how eclipses happen in a general sense. There is a 12 inches distance between the center of your 4 inch diameter moon model and the center of your 10 inch diameter planet model. What is the maximum distance that you can place the light source to achieve a full eclipse? (the diagram above shows the basic layout)
