during a lunar eclipse, earth, sun and moon are in a straight line, First it's the sun, then earth, and last the moon.

∙ 15y agoThe order for the Lunar eclipse is Sun, Earth, and Moon.

∙ 11y ago-- The Sun, Moon, and Earth are in line.
-- The Earth is the one in the 'middle', and the moon is in its shadow.

Describe the relative positions of Earth the sun and the moon during a solar eclipse and during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.
What happen during a total lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are aligned (in syzygy) exactly or very closely so, with the planet in between. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon.
When do lunar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into the Earths shadow. So just as a solar eclipse occurs when you get the Sun, moon and Earth lined up (in that order), a lunar eclipse occurs when you get them lined up in the order Sun, Earth, moon.When the earth sun and moon comes in a straight line earth in the middle the lunar eclipse occurs.A lunar eclipse can only happen during a FULL MOON.It can only occur when the earth moon and sun are all lined up, with the earths shadow being cast on the moon (earth between the sun and moon). Even then it's not guaranteed, as the alignment has to be perfect. The orbits at not perfect circles and on the same plane so this is quite rare. A lunar eclipse will happen with a new moon.It occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon. It must be a full moon when it happens. To see a full lunar eclipse, ou must be in the umbra. If you're in the penumbra, you wouldn't see the whole eclipse but most of it. ~ha.
What occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun during a new moon phase?
Order of bodies and eclipse.Earth, moon, Sun->Solar eclipsemoon, Earth, Sun->lunar eclipse
What phase of the moon does a lunar eclipse have and what three things are needed in space in order for this to occur?
Lunar eclipses always happen at the full moon phase. A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon is DIRECTLY lined up with the Sun and the Earth, so precisely that the Earth's shadow hits the Moon.
Describe the relative positions of Earth the sun and the moon during a solar eclipse and during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.
what is the correct position from the center of the solar system of the sun earth and moon during a lunar eclipse?
Don't worry about the "center of the solar system". That's just the sun anyway. During a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are lined up along the same straight line, in just that order. The Moon is directly 'behind' the Earth, so it's in the Earth's shadow.
Is a lunar eclipse when the moon is between the earth and the sun?
no a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is on the moon so the order would be: Sun Earth Moon an eclipse when the moon's shadow falls across earth is a solar eclipse
Why does a lunar and solar eclipse all have new and full moons?
-- During a lunar eclipse, the moon is in Earth's shadow. -- During a solar eclipse, a small part of Earth is in the moon's shadow. -- In order for either of these to happen, the Sun, Moon, and Earth must be all lined up. -- New Moon and Full Moon are the phases when Sun, Moon, and Earth are all lined up.
What is the difference between a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse?
Solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth (The three objects would appear in this order: Sun >> Moon >> Earth). A lunar eclipse is when the Moon pass into the shadow of the Earth ( The three objects would appear in this order: Sun >> Earth >> Moon ).

What type of eclipse occurs when the Earth Moon and Sun are lined up in the order shown below?
If the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, a lunar eclipse occurs.During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks all of the Sun's light that would usually reflect off the Moon.
Why does a lunar eclipse happen more often than a solar eclipse?
It doesn't. During the 20th Century ... the full 100 years ... there were 228 solareclipses and 229 lunar ones, which is about as equal as you can get.However, when a lunar eclipse is going on, everybody on the night-side half of theEarth can see it, whereas during a solar eclipse, you have to be on the day-sidehalf AND within a couple hundred miles of the tip of the moon's shadow in order tosee anything happening.So if you stay in the same place on Earth, you'll seelunar eclipses more often thansolar ones. But over any significant period of time, their numbers are equal.
