Sun Moon and Earth are in alignment?
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in alignment, it results in a phenomena known as a lunar or solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching certain regions on Earth.
When does earth have an eclipse?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
Can a lunar eclipse occur in a gibbous moon?
No. Because a lunar eclipse requires a near exact alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth, it can only happen during a full moon.
