How long is the moon phases and how long does the lunar cycle last and what causes the moon phase to change phase to phase?
The lunar cycle of phases is about 29.5 days. As the moon rotates and revolves around the earth, and the earth rotates and revolves around the sun, the shadows cast by the shifting positions of the moon and earth cause the moon to wane, wax, and "disappear". This is known as the lunar cycle.
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.
What is the only lunar moon phase in which a lunar eclipse can occur?
Full Moon
Which lunar phase precedes a full moon in the lunar cycle?

Moon phase when the moon is between the sun and the earth?
LUNAR EQLIPS
What phase of the moon can the lunar eclipse occur?

How does lunar eclipses happen?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's shadow - this can only happen during the Full Moon phase.
In what phase is the moon completely hidden?
That phase is called new moon. Moon may also be unobservable during lunar eclipse - it can only occur at full moon, because Moon has to be in line with Sun and Earth, behind Earth.
What phase is the moon when the earth is between the sun and moon?
Full moon. On those rare occasions the moon drifts into earth's shadow the event is known as a lunar eclipse. The moon must be almost as full as it can possibly get just prior to a lunar eclipse.
What is the only lunar moon phase in which a lunar eclipse can occur?
Full Moon
