What occurs when the earth sun and moon are aligned?

When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are aligned, it leads to the occurrence of a solar or lunar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking sunlight; while in a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. These alignments happen during specific phases of the lunar cycle, typically at the new moon for solar eclipses and the full moon for lunar eclipses.


Is it bad to look outside during a lunar eclipse?

It is o.k. to view a lunar eclipse, because unlike a solar eclipse you are not viewing direct sunlight which can be harmful and blinding but rather reflected light. When viewing a lunar eclipse you would see even less light than viewing a full moon which we know is safe.

What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
