What type of eclipse occurs when the Earth Moon and Sun are lined up in the order shown below?
If the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, a lunar eclipse occurs.During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks all of the Sun's light that would usually reflect off the Moon.
What type of eclipse occurs when the earth moon and sun are lined up an order?
When the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in that order, a lunar eclipse occurs. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, causing the Moon to appear darkened or take on a reddish hue. This alignment typically happens during a full moon, when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.
What is the eclipse called when the moon is behind earth?
First the order is |Sun : Moon : Earth| and when the Moon is behind the Earth it is |Sun : Earth : Moon|, which would be a Lunar Eclipse.
What occurs when the sun moon and earth are in a line?
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
Why an lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the sun and moon?
A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The next total lunar eclipse occurs on December 21, 2010.

What type of eclipse occurs if the Earth Moon and Sun is in below order?
A solar eclipse, the path of totality is very narrow though. Only a small section of the Earth will see it.
Why does a lunar and solar eclipse all have new and full moons?
-- During a lunar eclipse, the moon is in Earth's shadow. -- During a solar eclipse, a small part of Earth is in the moon's shadow. -- In order for either of these to happen, the Sun, Moon, and Earth must be all lined up. -- New Moon and Full Moon are the phases when Sun, Moon, and Earth are all lined up.
When do lunar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the moon passes into the Earths shadow. So just as a solar eclipse occurs when you get the Sun, moon and Earth lined up (in that order), a lunar eclipse occurs when you get them lined up in the order Sun, Earth, moon.When the earth sun and moon comes in a straight line earth in the middle the lunar eclipse occurs.A lunar eclipse can only happen during a FULL MOON.It can only occur when the earth moon and sun are all lined up, with the earths shadow being cast on the moon (earth between the sun and moon). Even then it's not guaranteed, as the alignment has to be perfect. The orbits at not perfect circles and on the same plane so this is quite rare. A lunar eclipse will happen with a new moon.It occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon. It must be a full moon when it happens. To see a full lunar eclipse, ou must be in the umbra. If you're in the penumbra, you wouldn't see the whole eclipse but most of it. ~ha.
What phase of the moon does a lunar eclipse have and what three things are needed in space in order for this to occur?
A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon phase. Three things needed in space for a lunar eclipse are the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun, with the Earth positioned between the Sun and the Moon so that the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon.
What is the eclipse called when the moon is behind earth?
First the order is |Sun : Moon : Earth| and when the Moon is behind the Earth it is |Sun : Earth : Moon|, which would be a Lunar Eclipse.

During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
What is the same about solar eclipse and lunar eclipses?
The thing that is the same is that the same three bodies are lined up. In lunar eclipses, the order is Sun, Earth, Moon and in solar eclipses, it's Sun, Moon, Earth.
What occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun during a new moon phase?
During a new moon phase, when the moon passes between the earth and the sun, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the earth, casting a shadow on a portion of the earth's surface.
Why an lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between the sun and moon?
