Either a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse, depending on the arrangement of the alignment.
When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. In other words, the moon is in the earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. In other words, the earth is in the moon's shadow. The earth is much larger than the moon, so the moon's shadow is considerably smaller than the earth's. Total lunar eclipses are far more frequent and can be seen by everyone on earth with a view of the moon. A solar eclipse can only be seen by those within the narrow band of the moon's shadow.
It is known as an eclipse. If the moon is casting a shadow on Earth, it is a solar eclipse. If the Earth is casting a shadow on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is in the middle. ; Sun Earth, Moon. A solar eclipse is when the Moon is in the middle.; Sun, Moon, Earth.
A lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse is the other way around when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun. This would be a solar eclipse
When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.
it's called a LUNAR eclipse the other way round is a SOLAR eclipse
a Lunar Eclipses
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. In other words, the moon is in the earth's shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. In other words, the earth is in the moon's shadow. The earth is much larger than the moon, so the moon's shadow is considerably smaller than the earth's. Total lunar eclipses are far more frequent and can be seen by everyone on earth with a view of the moon. A solar eclipse can only be seen by those within the narrow band of the moon's shadow.
It's the other way around; more people can see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse. The reason is that a lunar eclipse happens on the Moon; it is visible from half of the Earth's surface. A solar eclipse occurs along a narrow track across the Earth, and 75% of the Earth's surface is oceans.
The difference is a solar eclipse occurs when the moon pass between the earth and the sun. A lunar eclipse is when the earth pass between the sun and the moon
On Earth, we get solar eclipses and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse is when the Sun is obscured by all or part of the moon so that there is a shadow cast directly onto the surface of the earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes wholly or partially through the shadow of the Earth caused by the Sun, which darkens the Moon, or changes it distinctly reddish. Obviously in other positions in space, other kinds of eclipses would be possible. For instance, Mars has two moons, so it two different kinds of lunar eclipses. On a planet orbiting a binary star, you might speak of an eclipse when one star passes behind another, etc. There are some other complicated kinds of eclipse like the "Analemma Eclipse" in this picture " http://bethlapides.com/images//tutulemma.jpg "
An eclipse is defined as an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial object moves into the shadow of another, partially or fully obscuring it from view. An eclipse on Earth occurs when the Sun, the Earth and the moon are all in a line together. The two primary types of eclipses seen from Earth are the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. These two types of eclipses can then be broken down into four different types; a total eclipse, partial eclipse, annular eclipse or hybrid eclipse. The term solar eclipse describes the occurrence of when the moon travels between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from the Earth in the middle of the day, and generally giving the appearance of a ring of light in the darkened sky. During a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during night time hours, gradually blocking the view of the moon form the Earth. Eclipses have also been known to occur on other planets as well. On Earth, there can be anywhere from four to seven eclipses of varying degrees within any given year. For more eclipse information on both lunar and solar eclipses, simply select any eclipse article, eclipse picture or other interactive eclipse feature below.
The other eclipse is a solar eclipse which is in frount of the earth blocking the sun
A NEW MOON. However, the planer of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is about 5 degrees different from the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun. Consequently, at every New Moon there is NOT a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse only occurs when the two planes cross directly at a New Moon, then you have a Solar Eclipse. You do not see other New Moon's because the Sun's light is so bright, that it overtakes the dark patch of the Moon.
A solar eclipse is where the moon obscures the sun from observers on earth, the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun out to us on earth. The moon is in a new moon phase at this point, we cant see it before or after the eclipse, as the sunlight reflecting back off its surface is on the other side to us.
It is known as an eclipse. If the moon is casting a shadow on Earth, it is a solar eclipse. If the Earth is casting a shadow on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
