it is closer
During a lunar eclipse, the earth is in between the moon and the sun, blocking the sun's light from reaching the moon.
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon.
Eclipse size refers to the apparent size of the moon or the sun as observed during an eclipse. In a solar eclipse, the size of the moon relative to the sun determines whether it is a total, partial, or annular eclipse. During a total eclipse, the moon completely covers the sun, while in an annular eclipse, the moon is smaller than the sun, leaving a ring of sunlight visible. The size of the eclipse can vary based on the distance of the moon and sun from Earth, as well as the observer's location.
Eclipse Of The Moon
when the moon goes in between the sun and the earth
For a solar eclipse to occur, the new moon must be positioned between earth and the sun at a node.
that would make an eclipse. so no
because the sun is behind the moon
All lunar eclipses can of course be seen from any place on Earth that has the moon in view during the extent of the eclipse A solar eclipse can be seen from those locations on Earth that come under the Moon's shadow. The path of totality (where the Moon completely blocks the Sun) can be quite narrow in places and sometimes the Moon is far enough away from the Earth that a ring of the Sun's photosphere appears around the silhouette of the Moon (called an annular or ring eclipse) . (See Sources and Related Links below for a link to NASA page with schedules, times, maps etc.)
This is a lunar eclipse, not an eclipse of the Sun. In this case the answer is the Full Moon.
During a total solar eclipse, it can get as dark as twilight or even darker, depending on the location and the amount of sunlight blocked by the moon.
