Which phase of the moon can a total lunar eclipse occur?
A total lunar eclipse can occur during a full moon phase. During this phenomenon, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and creating the eclipse.
What esclipes can only happen during a full moon?
A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can result in a partial or total eclipse of the Moon.
Does a total eclipse occur during a new moon?
A solar eclipse can only happen at the time of New Moon.A lunar eclipse can only happen at the time of Full Moon.
In what phase of the moon can a total eclipse occur?
Solar eclipse (total or otherwise): at new moon. Lunar eclipse (total or otherwise): at full moon. -- Immediately after a Solar eclipse you get a new crescent moon appearing in the sky. Obviously therefore the eclipse happens at the point when the side of the moon that faces us is in total shadow - indeed during the eclipse we are covered by that shadow. -- Immediately after a lunar eclipse, as soon as the moon moves out of the shadow, it is full.

Do total eclipses from the sun occur only at full moons?
Yes, total solar eclipses occur only during a new moon, not a full moon. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light. In contrast, a full moon occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, which is why a lunar eclipse happens at that time.
Why do total eclipse not occur during each full moon and new moon?
Total eclipses do not occur during every full moon and new moon because the orbits of the Earth and the Moon are tilted relative to each other by about 5 degrees. This tilt means that the Moon often passes above or below the Earth's shadow during a full moon (lunar eclipse) and the Earth’s shadow often misses the Moon during a new moon (solar eclipse). Total eclipses only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align perfectly, which occurs only a few times a year.
Can a lunar eclipse occur during a gibbous moon?

During a lunar eclipse the moon is what shape?
