What is the difference between a lunar month and the month of June?
The month of June is 30 days long. A lunar month is the length of time between two new moons. It is about 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes on average.
Do eclipses occur during full moons?
No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).
Solar lunar year days difference?
Solar eclipses are when the moon travels in between the sun and the earth, creating a circular shadow on the Earth's surface, temporarily. (Don't stare at the moon during solar eclipses!) Lunar eclipses are when the earth gets in between the moon and the sun, creating a shadow over the moon, temporarily.

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.
Can there be a lunar ecplicse and solar at the same time?
No. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the sun and the moon.
How does the moon change the solar and lunar eclipse?
A Solar eclipse is when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, blocking out the sun for a brief period of time. A Lunar eclipse is when the earth moves between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to "disappear" for a brief period of time.

How many lunar months are there in a solar year?
Approximately 12, but 12 lunar months are a little less than a solar year. In China, both lunar and solar calendars are used, but the lunar New Year does not fall on the same date of the solar year all the time. Occasionally they have a 13th lunar month to bring them back into alignment.
What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
Lunar eclipses occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon an the sun and also occurs only when there is a full moon because the moon is closet to Earth,s shadow at that time while a solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth and only occurs when a new moon blocks your view of the sun.
What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between the Earth and the sun, blocking some of the light from the sun. During a solar eclipse, the moon seems to cover the sun in the sky. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon. When this happens, the moon cannot reflect the sun's light and appears darker in the sky.A lunar eclipse can only occur with a full moon and a solar eclipse can only occur with a new moon. In a lunar eclipse, the total phase can last for a maximum of 1 hour and 40 minutes. The maximum time of a solar eclipse is 7 minutes 40 seconds. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.A solar eclipse happens when the shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth.

Is a lunar year longer than a solar year?
No, a lunar year is shorter than a solar year. A lunar year is based on the time it takes for the moon to orbit the Earth, which is about 354 days. In contrast, a solar year is based on the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun, which is about 365 days.
What is the difference between the lunar eclipse and solor eclipse?
In a lunar eclipse the Earth is in the middle and blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, so that happens always at Full Moon but not every time. A solar eclipse has the Moon in the middle so it happens at New Moon, but not every time, and the Moon is not big enough to shadow the whole Earth so a solar eclipse is seen only in a strip across the Earth's surface.
Why are solar tides weaker than the lunar tides much of the time?
Solar tides are usually hidden by lunar tides. The moon's gravity is greater than the sun's
