Answer:
Certain stars can be sometimes identified as eclipsing binary stars because they share a single point of gravity which they orbit around. Along with that, their horizontal orbital plane is the same as that of our planet.
Explanation:
- The term eclipse refers to the casting of a huge shadow of one celestial object over the other.
- This phenomenon usually occurs when a celestial object blocks the passage of light falling on a celestial body and casts a shadow instead. Same happens with the eclipsing binary stars.
- The binary stars that share a single orbit cast shadows on each other and appear like eclipsing binary stars.
