This is because the Moon needs to be blocking the source of light provided to us, this source is the Sun.
The 'new moon' is the first phase where there is almost no visible moon.
The 'full moon' is where you can see the whole moon.
To cause a solar eclipse, the moon needs to be in the line of the Earth and the Sun, and to cause a Lunar eclipse, the Earth needs to be in the line of the Sun and the Moon.
Sun-Moon-Earth = Solar Eclipse
Sun-Earth-Moon = Lunar Eclipse
What else can I help you with?
Why dont you have an eclipse every month?
The Moon's orbit is at an angle to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun so most often the full/new moon is 'above' or 'below' the line directly from the Sun to the Earth so lunar/solar eclipses do not occur every month.
How many years till another eclipse?
Well if its a lunar eclipse with a full moon on a solctice then it is 84 years. I dont know about a reagular lunar eclipse though.
Is it true that every solar eclipse happens every million years on earth?
no they happen around the world almost every year and i dont believe that were going to be here on this earth for millions of years
Why is there not an eclipse every full or new moon?
The Moon's orbit has an angle relative to the Earth's orbit, therefore only around twice a year we have an eclipse. The term solar eclipse describes the occurrence of when the moon travels between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from the Earth in the middle of the day, and generally giving the appearance of a ring of light in the darkened sky. During a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the shadow of the Earth during night time hours, gradually blocking the view of the moon form the Earth.
Was the moon supposed to turn red a couple of nights ago?
Your a very lucky person i think you jsut witnessed a lunar eclipse if you dont know what that is its when the moon gets in between the sun and the Earth turing the moon a light shade of red you dont see that very often
What do you do in case of a solar eclipse?
dont go outside
Why do birds stop singing when a eclipse happens?
They dont. Studies of birds in the zoos and avivaries during the 1994 & 1999 eclipses showed that some birds did sing during the totality. When most birds even sing during total darkness at night the question of them to stop singing during an eclipse does not arise. Birds that migrate, fly at night and their calls during such nights are distinct.
How would you prepare yourself to view the light from solar eclipse as compared to the light coming frome lunar eclipse?
You can look straight at a luna eclipse. but solar during a solar eclipse you have to protect your eyes in some way (and i dont just mean sun glasses). there are many site you can go to that will give you different ways.
Does bree and Jacob get together twilight eclipse?
No dont be stupid!
Why would there never be a lunar eclipse during a new moon phase?
There would never be a lunar eclipse during a new moon phase because....the earth would see a fully black moon, but the sun would outshine the moon into the milky way and into other galaxies. This could occur to be a problem because our galaxy is the only one with living organisms on it. Don't look up at the sun at any given point in the day, or under any curcumstances!! it'll permantly damage yours eyes. Just dont it, kay?
How can you prove to my dad that you dont want to see eclipse?
don't go
How does kinematics occur?
they dont
