it is called a solar eclipse
Solar and Lunar A solar eclipse is when the Earth is between the moon and the sun, and blockes the sun's light form reflecting off the moon. A lunar eclipse is when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun. http://www.moonconnection.com/lunar_vs_solar.phtml Also, refer to the NASA Eclipse Web Paget at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html
The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.
well actually the moon is way far away to the sun but to us they are close but it is always called the moon but once its the moon on top pf the sun or the other way around its called an eclipse
When the Sun and Moon cross paths, it's called a Solar Eclipse. If the Sun is in front of the Earth and the Moon is behind, then it's called a Lunar Eclipse.
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
block* When the moon blocks the sun's light, it is called a solar eclipse.
When the moon is a complete circle, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, with the side of the moon facing Earth fully illuminated by the sun.
No. The sun is a star. The moon is a moon, also called a natural satellite, as it orbits Earth rather than the sun.
it is called an eclipse
When the moon is directly in line with the sun, it is called a "new moon." This is the phase where the moon is not visible from Earth because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun.
When the moon is blocking the earth from the sun, its called a solar eclipse, and when the earth is between the sun and the moon, its called a lunar eclipse. hope that answered your question! :D
The point where the moon crosses the path of the sun is called the lunar node. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_node
