What is the difference between a lunar and solor eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon crosses in front of the Sun, while with a lunar eclipse the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon so the Moon goes dark. You can only see a solar eclipse in daytime, while you can only see a lunar eclipse at night-time.
How is a new moon and a lunar eclipse similar?
There is no similarities between them...a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the shadow of the earth..you see the dark side of the moon during a new moon.
Why does lunar eclipse occurs on a comparatively solar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth is right in between the moon and the sun therefore blocking the light of the sun from reflecting off the moon and makes the moon dark which means that if you're on the moon at the time of a lunar eclipse on Earth then Earth is blocking the sun from the moon and on the moon, it's a solar eclipse.
How is a lunar eclipse similar to a solar eclipse?
Well.......both types of eclipse have to do with blocking the sun, or making shade. In a Lunar Eclipse, the Earth gets right between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the moon. The moon goes somewhat dark, appearing dark reddish in the sky. In a Solar Eclipse the Moon gets between the Sun and the Earth, and the moon casts a shadow on the Earth. From Earth we see the dark disk of the moon sliding over the bright sun, blocking the light.

What does Eclipse mean in science?
An eclipse is the word used to describe an astronomical phenomenon in which the Sun, Earth and Moon happen to line up sufficiently for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon (a lunar eclipse) or the Moon's shadow to fall on the Earth (a solar eclipse). A lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth at once - the dark half. A solar eclipse has a more limited viewing area because the Moon is relatively small. Therefore although lunar and solar eclipses are equally frequent, it appears to anyone in a fixed geographical position that lunar eclipses are more frequent.
What is seen in a lunar eclipse?
In a lunar eclipse, you see the full Moon pass into the shadow of the Earth. Like anything going into the shadow, it becomes dark for a little while.
What side of the earth does a total lunar eclipse occur on if it is night?

What happens in the lunar eclipse?

What do you call the dark shadow cast by the earth on the moon during lunar eclipse?
penumbra

What is rarer to happen solar eclipse or lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the dark half of the Earth. A solar eclipse can be seen only from a strip 3000 miles wide, approximately the diameter of the Moon. So it seems that solar eclipses are less frequent.
What are the dark spots and light areas on the moon called?
The Moon is still called a lunar MARE.
Where would you be on earth if you saw a total lunar eclipse?
In the dark? You can only see a total eclipse on the night side of the Earth. But total lunar eclipses happen every year or so, somewhere around the world.
