A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can result in a partial or total eclipse of the Moon.
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).
An eclipse of the sun can only occur during a new moon phase when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. This alignment allows the moon to partially or fully block the sun's light, creating a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.
