What kind of eclipse will occur if the moon is in the outer portion of the shadow?
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
What appearance does the sun have to an observer during a total solar eclipse?
An eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth (in that order) are on a single line with each other.Thus the moon blocking the Sun's light. For an observer the Sun is not visible because the moon is in the way. But because the gravity of the moon bends the light of the sun a little bit back to Earth so it appears with a glowing ring around the dark circle created by the moon. This is known as a full eclipse.This eclipse will only be shown as a full eclipse in specific regions on Earth where the alignment comes out perfect, in other parts of the world there will also be an eclipse but it will be a partial eclipse, by which the moon is also blocking the sun but only partial much like a crescent moon looks like.Note: The phases of the moon happen in a parallel way, when the Sun, Earth and Moon (in that order) are aligned. But a dark moon happens far more frequent than a solar eclipse.
Can you see anything when its a new moon?
A true new moon is when the sun is directly behind the moon. Astronomers call that a "solar eclipse". However, those don't happen very often because the orbital plains of the earth, moon and sun have to line up perfectly for that to happen. A more common new moon puts the moon so near the sun that the light from the sun block out any view of the moon we may have from earth. However, astronomers can still see a new moon with a telescope. During a solar eclipse, the moon is totally dark. We can't see any of its features, but we can see the Solar Corona during a solar eclipse. When there's a new moon, the earth looks full from the moon, meaning that earthshine lights up the moon enough to give us rather good details about the lunar surface that get washed out during a full moon.
Why does the partial solar eclipse occur more often?
The area where the moon can block out part of the sun is larger than the area where it block out all of the sun.
Why is a full moon less brighter than a half moon?
the full moon is more closer to the sun than the half moon
What kind of eclipse will occur if the moon is in the outer portion of the shadow?
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
What time of year does a lunar eclipse happen?
A lunar eclipse can happen at the time of any Full Moon, but no more than about 5 times in a year, max.
Is the solar eclipse picture more like the full moon picture or new moon picture?
More like New Moon (empty hole in space) but with light around a dark circle
Why does the lunar eclipse happen at full moon?
A lunar eclipse happens when Earth is exactly between the Moon and the Sun (or more correctly, when viewed from the Sun, the Moon passes behind Earth and through its shadow), like this:(Sun)--------------(Earth)---(Moon)When you look up from Earth at that time, you see the part of the moon that is in full sunlight.We don't see a lunar eclipse every full moon because the Moon's orbit around Earth is slightly tilted,so it passes over or under the Earth's shadow most of the time.
What season is the eclipse?
An Eclipse can occur at any season; Summer , Autumn, Winter, or Spring. Eclipses occur at ONLY New Moon and Full Moon. New and Full Moon's occur once a Month (Moonth). This is approximately every 28 days. An Eclipse at New Moon is a Solar Eclipse, because the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun; the sky goes to night(dark) An Eclipse at Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse, because the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon; the moon appears to go from a bright white circle to a red/grey circle. The reason we do not see an eclipse every month is because The Moon's orbit, about the Earth is angled at 5 degrees, to the Earth's orbit about the Sun. It is only when these two orbits cross at New/Full Moons we see an eclipse.
Which occurs more often a partial solar eclipse or a total solar eclipse?
A Partial Solar Eclipse will happen most often because it is more likely for part of the sun to be covered up by the moon than the whole moon covering the entire sun. Also you don't really hear about Total Eclipses do you ? Hope I Helped -David
How are eclipse made?
There are more than one kind, but they both happen in a similar way. When the earth gets between the sun and the moon, it creates a lunar eclipse, because the earths shadow is being cast onto the moon, but this happens very often, it is also know as a new moon. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth, and the moons shadow is cast onto the earth, which happens less often than the lunar eclipse.

What phase of the moon occurs when all of the moons near side is sunlit?
During the New moon, the lighted side of the Moon is the OTHER side, the side we never see.
What appearance does the sun have to an observer during a total eclipse?
An eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth (in that order) are on a single line with each other.Thus the moon blocking the Sun's light. For an observer the Sun is not visible because the moon is in the way. But because the gravity of the moon bends the light of the sun a little bit back to Earth so it appears with a glowing ring around the dark circle created by the moon. This is known as a full eclipse.This eclipse will only be shown as a full eclipse in specific regions on Earth where the alignment comes out perfect, in other parts of the world there will also be an eclipse but it will be a partial eclipse, by which the moon is also blocking the sun but only partial much like a crescent moon looks like.Note: The phases of the moon happen in a parallel way, when the Sun, Earth and Moon (in that order) are aligned. But a dark moon happens far more frequent than a solar eclipse.

What are 3 similarities between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
In any eclipse, the Sun, Moon and Earth line up more-or-less exactly. The eclipse is the shadow; a solar eclipse is the shadow of the Moon darkening a part of the Earth, while a lunar eclipse is the shadow of the Earth darkening the Moon.
