A Solar Eclipse can only occur at a NEW MOON. Similarly a Lunar Eclipse can only occur at a FULL MOON.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
because all the moon phases have to occur before the full moon and the new moon
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.
It is a new Moon. For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun. We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
It has to be in new moon.
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).
A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon. A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon.
Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth lies between the sun and the moon while solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes the earth and the moons shadow falls onto earth during the day. :D
A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of New Moon.It never occurs during Full Moon.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
A solar eclipse can only happen at the time of New Moon.A lunar eclipse can only happen at the time of Full Moon.
