5 Clues
- Clue 1Clouds
- Clue 2Parasols
- Clue 3Tinted glass
- Clue 4Dark curtains
- Clue 5The Moon during some eclipses
Why this answer fits
Clouds and curtains suggest ordinary shading. The eclipse clue provides the astronomical extreme and confirms that obstructing sunlight is the shared effect.
Quick wink: The Moon blocked the Sun with impeccable timing; the curtains preferred a less orbital solution.
How to find the connection
- Group Parasols and Dark curtains as objects deliberately used for shade.
- Add Clouds and Tinted glass, which reduce incoming solar radiation through scattering, absorption, or filtering.
- Use the Moon during a solar eclipse as the strongest literal obstruction of sunlight.
