an eclipse is the blocking of the sun by the moon, or the moon by the earth, a solstice is a point of the year when the earth's tilt is most toward or away from the sun
What causes synchronous rotation?
This is the answer------ A massive planet exerts a tidal force on a moon that causes the moon to align itself such that its tidal bulges always point toward and away from the planet.
What is the moon called at the halfway point in its journey around earth is it gibbous moon?
Assuming you start with "new moon", the halfway point is "full moon". It's not a "gibbous moon".
