A lunar eclipse (eclipse of the moon) can occur only at the time of the Full Moon. A solar eclipse (eclipse of the sun) can occur only at the time of New Moon.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is at it's full phase - directly opposite the sun.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
The new moon phase and the full moon phase
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).
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is "full". During a solar eclipse the moon is "new".
The Earth casts a shadow on the Moon during a Lunar Eclipse, this can only happen during a Full Moon.

because when an eclipse takes place the moon, sun, and earth have to be lined up directly. and in this position the moon is full. in a solar eclipse the moon would be new
A lunar eclipse is possible only at the time of Full Moon. A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of new Moon.
