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.
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.
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is at it's full phase - directly opposite the sun.
An Eclipse of the moon occurs when the shadow of the earth's shadow fall on the moon
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).
It has to be in new moon.
A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of the Full Moon.
As a matter of fact, Full Moon is the only time a lunar eclipse can occur.
The lunar eclipse can only happen when the moon is full.
Just the opposite. The lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. The solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon. It's easy to understand why it works this way, when you consider these facts: -- Lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is in Earth's shadow. -- Solar eclipse occurs when the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. -- An object's shadow always points away from the sun.
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.

No. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full.
Lunar eclipses can only occur at the full moon.
The only moon phase that occurs during a lunar eclipse, is a Full Moon.
