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.

Why and How do eclipses occur?
An eclipse occurs when one object in space is in the shadow of another. For example, in a solar eclipse, the Earth is in the shadow of the Moon. That is, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth and all three are lined up.
What type of eclipse occurs when the Earth Moon and Sun are lined up in the order?
This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.
Why do lunar eclipse only occur when the moon and the sun are opposite from the sun?
The Sun shines on the Earth and Moon, and each cast a shadow straight out into space. When the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow - when the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up exactly - we have a lunar eclipse.
Is there a full moon every month?
A solar eclipse has to occur when the moon passes directly between earth and the sun but usually the moon travels a little above or below the the sun in the sky. Edited by Gelert: It is not "a little bit", but is around 5 degrees.We don't get a solar eclipse (moon obscuring the sun to earth) every month, since the alignment of the sun, moon and Earth is not exact enough. The moon sun and earth are not on the exact same plane, so most of the time when the moon passes in front of the sun, it is either too low or too high to cause a solar eclipse.
Why isn't there a solar and lunar eclipse each month?
The Moon is tilted by about five degrees with respect to the Earth's orbit so the shadows usually miss each other.-Dylan Wilson
What type of eclipse occurs when the Earth Moon and Sun are lined up and the moon is on the other side of the earth far from the sun?
a Lunar Eclipses
What type of eclipse occurs when the earth moon and sun are lined up?
Earth, Moon, and Sun line up with both solar and lunar eclipses.

What is it when the earth sun and moon are all lined up together?
Either the Solar Eclipse or Lunar Eclipse.
When the sun and moon are in a line with the earth?
When the Sun, Moon and Earth are all lined up exactly, we have an eclipse. If the Earth is in the middle, it's a lunar eclipse. When the Moon is in the middle, it's a solar eclipse.
When are the sun and moon and earth in a line?
When the Sun, Moon and Earth are all lined up exactly, we have an eclipse. If the Earth is in the middle, it's a lunar eclipse. When the Moon is in the middle, it's a solar eclipse.
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 is a eclipse of the moons?
The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.

When the sun earth and moon are lined up such that the full moon moves into earth's shadow?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in such a way that the full moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it creates a lunar eclipse.
