it depends. It can sometimes be a solar eclipse, and other times a lunar eclipse,

What results on earth when the sun and the moon are aligned?
When the sun and the moon are aligned, we experience either a new moon or a full moon. During a new moon, the sun and moon are aligned with the moon between the Earth and the sun, causing the moon to be largely invisible. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth between the sun and the moon, resulting in a fully illuminated moon.
How are the earth sun and moon aligned during a lunar eclipse?
The Moon and the Sun are on opposite sides.
When the moon is aligned with and betwween earth and the sun which phase is happening?
A new moon phase is happening when the moon is aligned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making the moon appear dark or invisible from our perspective.
What tide is it when the earth sun and moon aline?
When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are aligned, the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon reinforce each other, causing higher high tides and lower low tides. This alignment results in spring tides, which occur during the full moon and new moon phases.
What happens when the moon passess between the sun an earth?
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
Where must the sun the earth and moon be located for a lunar eclipse to occur?
you need the moon and the earth Aligned to the sun then enjoy the show!
How are earth Moon's sun aligned during a solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in such a way that the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment allows for the Moon to obscure the Sun partially or completely from our perspective on Earth.
What is it called when the sun moon and Earth are aligned?
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned, it is referred to as a "syzygy." This alignment can occur during a new moon or a full moon, leading to phenomena such as solar or lunar eclipses. During a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun's light, while a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon.
Why does a lunar eclipse not occur every full moon?
The Moon's orbit isn't aligned with the plane of the Sun and Earth. Its orbit is pitched 5.1 degrees, which results in occasions when the variation allows the Moon to completely clear the Earth's shadow.
The phase of the moon that occurs when celestial objects are aligned as sun-moon-earth is?
This is the arrangement for a New Moon.
When will you have a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon, sun, and Earth are aligned so that the Earth is between the moon and sun. The shadow from Earth covers the moon, making it impossible to see.
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The earth's highest tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the earth's oceans. When the sun, moon, and earth are aligned during a full moon or new moon, their gravitational forces combine to create higher tides known as spring tides.
