Generally, a lunar eclipse happens _about_ every 6 months - or, to be more precise, every 6 full moons, which isn't exactly the same thing. Sometimes there are two partial lunar eclipses a month apart rather than one total lunar eclipse, but on average, every 6 months or so.
You can see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at the link below.
What else can I help you with?
Which moon phase do solar eclipses happen?
Solar eclipses can only occur at the new moon, while all lunar eclipses happen at the full moon.
How often do eclipses happen in Moon and Sun?
About one or two solar eclipses per year, and one or two lunar (Moon) eclipses per year, on average. Go to NASA.com and search it. there will be a map with the spots of eclipses and time/year.
What causes eclipse and why?
Solar eclipses are caused by the Moon covering the Sun. This can happen at new moon. Lunar eclipses are caused when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow. This can happen at full moon.
Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?
Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.
What phase is the moon in when there is a solar eclipses?
This can only happen at new moon.
What causes eclipses to happen?
The moon covers the sun.
Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
Why do we see a full moon more often than we see an eclipse?
We see a full moon more often than an eclipse because a full moon occurs roughly once every month when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the entire face of the moon to be illuminated. In contrast, eclipses require specific alignments of the Earth, moon, and sun, which happen less frequently. Lunar eclipses occur only during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only happen during a new moon, making these events rarer overall. Hence, full moons are common, while eclipses are comparatively infrequent.
What phases the moon is in during a lunar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses always occur at the full moon, while solar eclipses can only happen during a new moon. thats a horrible answer , you could get that from watching twilight once.
Which occur more often partial or lumbar eclipse?
Partial eclipses occur more frequently than total (or "lumbar") eclipses. This is because partial eclipses can happen when the Moon only partially covers the Sun, which is more common given the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Total eclipses are rarer since they require a precise alignment where the Moon completely covers the Sun from the Earth's perspective. Overall, partial eclipses are more accessible to observe and happen several times a year.
What would happen if eclipses happen every month?
The moon phases would change.
Do solar eclipses happen every time the moon travels around the earth?
No, solar eclipses can be years apart.
