They happen during, and only during, the new moon. This is because during an eclipse the moon has the sun shining from directly behind it, and it's impossible for us to see any of the side of the moon lit up by the sun from this angle.
Lunar eclipses can only occur at the full moon.
A total lunar eclipse can occur during a full moon phase. During this phenomenon, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and creating the eclipse.
It has to be in new moon.
No, a lunar eclipse cannot occur during a quarter-moon phase because a lunar eclipse happens only during a full moon. During a full moon, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. In contrast, a quarter moon occurs when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are at right angles, preventing the alignment needed for a lunar eclipse.
Yes, a lunar eclipse can only occur during the full moon phase. This is because a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Since this alignment only occurs when the Moon is full, a lunar eclipse cannot take place at any other phase.
A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon.
