An eclipse is when the moon or sun block each other out. An ellipse is a mathmaticle geomotry tearm that has to do with curves.

What is the difference between a ellipse and an oblate spheroid?
there both gay!! haha
What kind of ellipse occurs when the moon is between the earth and the moon?
'Ellipse' ??? I think you mean 'Eclipse'. First of all The Moon orbits the Earth in an 'Ellipsoidal fashion'. That is it is an ellipse that doesn't quite close up. Similarly, as a binary system the Earth and Moon orbit the Sun in a similar ellipsoidal fashion. When the 'Moon is between the Earth and the Moon'. is a nonsense. I think you mean ,When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun.' In this case it is a Solar Eclipse, because the Sun(Solar) is being obscured. These do NOT occur at every New Moon, because the Moon's orbital plane abount the Earth is angled at 5 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane about the Sun. It is only when these two planes cross(intersect) at New Moon, that you have a Solar Eclipose. Similarly , for Lunar Eclipose. NB ;Ellipse' is a flattened planar circle. Eclipse is that something is being hidden.
What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a luner eclapes?
A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth and cast's the Moon's shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun casts Earth's shadow onto the Moon.
How are foci related to eccentricity?
The eccentricity of an ellipse is a number related to how "egg-shaped" it is ... the difference between the distance through the fat part and the distance through the skinny part. That's also related to the distance between the 'foci' (focuses) of the ellipse. The farther apart the foci are, the higher the eccentricity is, and the flatter the ellipse is. Comets have very eccentric orbits. When the two foci are at the same point, the eccentricity is zero, all of the diameters of the ellipse have the same length, and the ellipse is a circle. All of the planets have orbits with small eccentricities.
What is the difference between solstice and eclipse?
an eclipse is the blocking of the sun by the moon, or the moon by the earth, a solstice is a point of the year when the earth's tilt is most toward or away from the sun
What phase is the moon in when it is between the sun and the earth?
an eclipse not an ellipse
When Earth is between the sun and the moon the moon is in its?
an eclipse not an ellipse
What phase is the moon in when it is in between sun and earth?
an eclipse not an ellipse
When Earth is between the sun and the moon the moon is in its phase.?
an eclipse not an ellipse
What is the major difference between an eclipse and a hyperbola?
The difference, major or not, is that an eclipse and a hyperbola are not related, at all. You might have meant to say "Ellipse". In that case, an ellipse is a closed line shape of which the left and right bouts are symmetrical and the top and bottom bouts are also symmetrical. A hyperbola can never close, and only its left and right parts are symmetrical.
What is the difference between a circlee and an ellipse?
A circle is perfectly round and an ellipse is oval.
What is the major difference between the equation for a hyperbola and for an ellipse?
ellipse are added hyperbola are subtracted
Explain the difference between the constant of a hyperbola and the constant of an ellipse?
In contrast, for an ellipse it is the ''sum'' of these distances that is a constant
The major difference between the equation for a hyperbola and for an ellipse is the operation performed. the terms in the equation of a blank are added?
Ellipse

What is the difference between an ellipse and an oval?
An ellipse always has two axes of reflection; an oval has one or more.So, an egg-shape is an oval, but not an ellipse.In short an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse.
How does ellipse look like?
An eclipse is bright and beautiful!
