The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.

How many years is there in a 6 moon eclipse the Moon's of vuvv?

A 6 moon eclipse on the moons of Vuvv would typically refer to a specific astronomical event involving multiple moons. However, without additional context about the orbital period of these moons or the specific timing of the eclipse, it's impossible to determine how many years this event spans. If you have more details about the moons' cycles, I could provide a more accurate answer.
