a lunar ecplise
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
When the full Moon is on the ecliptic, it will either partially or fully block the Sun, causing a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, with the Moon moving into the Earth's shadow.
Then we see full moons. If the Earth passes PRECISELY between the Sun and the Moon, then we see a lunar eclipse.

When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
Lunar eclipses occurs at a full moon when Earth is directly between the moon an the sun and also occurs only when there is a full moon because the moon is closet to Earth,s shadow at that time while a solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth and only occurs when a new moon blocks your view of the sun.
That's a difficult way of saying that the Sun, Moon and Earth line up almost exactly. So that's true.
