When the Sun, Moon and Earth are all lined up exactly, we have an eclipse. If the Earth is in the middle, it's a lunar eclipse. When the Moon is in the middle, it's a solar eclipse.
What else can I help you with?
When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
What is the arrangement of earth the moon and the sun of a lunar eclipse?
Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
What will happen if the earth get between the sun and moon?
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
What kind of eclipse occurs when the sun moon and earth are not in a line?
No eclipse can occur unless the sun, moon, and earth arein line.
What occurs when the sun moon and earth are in a line?
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
Why do you have eclipses?
Earth, Moon and Sun line up and it looks like the Moon is covering the Sun.That's a solar eclipse.A lunar eclipse is when they line up with Earth in the middle and the shadow of the Earth is on the Moon.
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
What is the correct order during a lunar eclipse?
The correct order during a lunar eclipse is penumbral phase, partial phase, and then total phase. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
Where is the moon in relation to Earth and the sun during new moon?
At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.
What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?
During spring tides, when the tidal bulges are at their largest, the Moon, Earth, and Sun are aligned in a straight line with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment causes the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun to combine, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.
Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
When does earth have an eclipse?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
