29. During a total solar eclipse-the moon almost entirely covers the sphere of the sun. The relation between the distances and sizes of the sun and moon is:

$(1) \frac{R_{s}}{R_{m}} = \frac{R_{se}}{R_{me}}$
$(2) \frac{R_{s}}{R_{m}} = {(\frac{R_{se}}{R_{me}})}^{2}$
$(3) \frac{R_{s}}{R_{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{R_{se}}{R_{me}}}$
$(4) \frac{R_{m}}{R_{s}} = \frac{R_{se}}{R_{me}}$
