Why does a lunar eclipse only happens during the new moon phase?
You misunderstand. !!! A Lunar eclipse occurs at Full Moon A Solar eclipse occurs at New Moon. The word 'eclipse' means to hide or obscure. Lunar means of the Moon Solar means of the Sun . So at Lunar Eclipse the Moon is obscured/hidden from the Sun, by the Earth. At Solar Eclipse the Sun is obscured/hidden from the Earth by the Moon. NB At Lunar eclipse, we can still see the FULL Moon. However, its colour becomes a dull red/grey colour, due to double/triple reflections of solar light from the Earth, which is NOT as intense as direct solar reflection, seen at full moon. Think of a bright moon lit night ; you can see , but the light is not bright like daytime. The same occurs in reverse, so the Moon does not appear as bright during a lunar eclipse as at fully (lit) moon. The light rays reflect multiple times 'bounce' between the Earth and the Moon. NNB Solar eclipse ; it is Sun - Moon - Earth. in the direct line Lunar eclipse ; it is Sun - Earth - Moon in direct line. Notice how the Earth and Moon 'swop' positions. Hope that clarifies for you!!!!
