During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.

∙ 14y agoIn order for an eclipse to be visible to people on earth, the three bodies are lined up in a straight line. During a lunar eclipse, the earth is the one in the middle of the lineup. Its shadow falls on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is the one in the middle of the lineup. Its shadow falls on the earth.

Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
