If you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse what kind of eclipse would you experience?
It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.
Where did the first lunar eclipse come from?
Every Lunar Eclipse comes from the same place, when the sun, moon, and earth are lined up in a straight line. So the first Lunar Eclipse is no different from the others.
Can there be a lunar ecplicse and solar at the same time?
No. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the sun and the moon.
What kind of eclipse will occur if the moon is in the outer portion of the shadow?
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
What are types of lunar eclipse?
A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's penumbra.A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the Moon enters the umbra.A total lunar eclipse is when the Moon travels completely into the Earth's umbra.A selenelion or selenehelion or possibly horizontal eclipse occurs when both the Sun and the eclipsed Moon can be observed at the same time.See link for more information
What are the differences between solar and lunar eclipses?
A solar eclipse happens when the moon (that is passing between the sun and earth) covers the sun. At same point, the sun will only be partially visible (parcial eclipse) or will not visible at all (total eclipse). A lunar eclipse happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon. When sunlight hits the earth it projects a shadow and, if the moon is somewhere in the area of that shadow, it will not be visible.
Is it possible to have a blue moon and a solar eclipse at the same time?
No. A blue moon happens when there is a second full moon. A solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon and it is right between the sun and the earth. But it is possible to have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time.
What occurs when one celestial body passes through through the shadow of another celestial body?
a lunar eclipseThat's called a lunar eclipse.It goes through most of the same phases as a solar eclipse, but it's easier to watch by eye. Even better with binoculars, telescope, or a camera with zoom.
What are parts of the lunar eclipse?
Everything on Earth looks the same as always during a lunar eclipse. But if it's night-time where you are during the eclipse, then the Full Moon is in your sky, and since it's in the Earth's shadow, it may be glowing a dull red, or it may be almost completely invisible.
What is a partial lunar eclipse?
A total Lunar Eclipse . We see the Moon, but it often appears red/grey in colour. A partial Lunar Eclipse . We see the Moon in two luminosities. The brighter luminecsense is the part which remains in full Sunlight. The duller (red/grey/ black) is the Earth's shadow crossing the Moon's surface. NB Lunar eclipses occur only at or very near FULL MOON. When you see the Moon in Gibbous/half/crescent shape it is NOT the Earth's shadow, but the angle of direct sunlight shining on the Moon.
How is the lunar and solar eclipse the same?
In both cases, there is an alignment involving the Sun, Earth, and the Moon.
What is the same about solar eclipse and lunar eclipses?
The thing that is the same is that the same three bodies are lined up. In lunar eclipses, the order is Sun, Earth, Moon and in solar eclipses, it's Sun, Moon, Earth.
