What occurs when earth is in a direct line between the sun and the moon?
solar eclipse
What occurs when the sun moon and earth are in a direct line?
When the Earth is in between the Sun and the Moon it is called a lunar eclipse. The Earth keeps sunlight from reaching the Moon. The Sun light is kept from the Moon by the Earth, so a shadow is cast on the moon. There are three kinds of lunar eclipses, penumbral, partial, and total.Penumbral lunar eclipse - In a penumbral lunar eclipse, no part of the moon is fully covered by Earth's shadow, the shadow just dims part of the Moon.Partial lunar eclipse - In this eclipse, only part of the moon passes through Earth's shadow.Total lunar eclipse - The entire moon passes through Earth's shadow. The moon becomes a red/orange color. This is known as the "blood moon". A "blood moon" occurs because the Earth's atmosphere filters in red sunlight and filters out blue light. This causes us to see a red moon.When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun it is called a solar eclipse. The Moon is smaller than the Earth so the shadow only covers a part of the Earth's surface. There are four types of solar eclipses, total, partial, annular and hybrid.Total solar eclipse - In a total solar eclipse, the moon covers the entire sun. It can be very damaging to the eye if you watch the total eclipse without eye protection. This type of eclipse can only be seen from a very small area on earth about 160 kms (100 miles) wide and 16000 kms (10000 miles) long.Partial solar eclipse - A partial solar eclipse occurs when only part of the Moon covers the SunAnnular solar eclipse - This eclipse happens when the moon is smaller in comparison to the sun. The Moon covers the centre of the Sun and a bright ring of sunlight can be seen.Hybrid solar eclipse - A hybrid solar eclipse is when an annular eclipse turns into a total eclipse.
Is there a change in temperature on the moon during a lunar eclipse?
Almost certainly, although I don't believe anyone has measured it. The Moon is heated by direct sunlight, and cools rapidly when night falls. A total lunar eclipse is like nightfall; the temperature on the lunar surface would certainly fall as heat is radiated back into space.
Do 3D glasses work during the solar eclipse?
No! You should only use glasses that specifically say they can be used for direct solar viewing. 3D glasses will be too transparent and you could damage your eyes by using them.
What is in a direct line during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Sun-Earth-Moon form a perfect - or almost perfect - line, so that the light of the Sun shines on the Earth, and the Earth's shadow hits the Moon. When we see "partial" or "penumbral" eclipses, that's when the alignment isn't quite close enough, so that the Moon is only partly in the Earth's shadow.

How do you explain direct and indirect speech?
Direct speech is when you quote someone's exact words, using quotation marks. Indirect speech is when you convey what someone said without quoting them directly, often by using reporting verbs like "he said" or "she told me." These forms are used to report someone else's words in a conversation.

Why does the shading of the direct light of the sun cause the lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow. Earth always has a shadow, which is created by the Sun. On those rare occasions when the Moon, Earth and the Sun are all lined up just right, the Moon passes through this shadow.This would happen every full moon if the Moon orbited around the Earth in the same plane as the Earth orbits around the Sun.
