That's a true statement, if you're referring to a 'full phase' of the moon.
A lunar eclipse is possible only when the moon is Full.
A solar eclipse is possible only when the moon is New.
Lunar eclipses only happen at the full moon.
true
(Answered as "What travels across the surface of the Earth when an eclipse occurs?") The shadow of the Moon travels across the Earth during a Solar Eclipse. (During a Lunar Eclipse, the shadow of the Earth travels across the Moon.)
When the moon is in the middle of the path between the sun and the moon it is known as a solar eclipse and it occurs during the day.
Yes. That would occur when the eclipse occurs while the moon is near perigee. Closer to apogee the eclipse is not total, it is annular.
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
A total solar eclipse occurs for the part of the Earth in the umbra of the moon's shadow. During a total solar eclipse, the Moon completely blocks the Sun, creating a temporary period of darkness on Earth.
A total solar eclipse only occurs when there is a new moon.

true
which moon phase occurs during a solar eclipse?
A total lunar eclipse.
The only moon phase that occurs during a lunar eclipse, is a Full Moon.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth casts a shadow on the moon. Since Earth is larger than the moon, it casts a larger shadow, resulting in a longer eclipse.
only at Full Moon
Because sometimes the moon passes between the earth and the sun. The shadow of the moon is the eclipse.
A no moon! a solar eclipse covers it the moon
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon passes into the shadow cast by the Earth.
