A solar or lunar eclipse may occur when the line of nodes is where?
A solar eclipse can occur when the line of nodes, the intersection between the orbit of the Moon and the ecliptic plane, aligns with the positions of the Sun and Earth. A lunar eclipse can occur when the line of nodes aligns with the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, casting Earth's shadow on the Moon.
How is the line of nodes related to solar and lunar eclipses?
A "node" is a point where the Moon passes through the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit around the sun). Because the moon's orbital plane around the Earth is inclined 5 degrees with respect to Earth's orbit around the sun, the Moon's orbit only intersects the Earth's solar orbit every 6 months (approximately). Solar eclipses occur when the Moon touches a node on the line of nodes between the Earth and the Sun. A lunar eclipse occurs when the opposite happens - the moon touches the ecliptic plane when the Earth is between it and the sun.
What is the type of eclipse is there when the moon is between the sun and earth?
Solar eclipse
How do you make a solar eclipse?
You dont make it. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, partially blocking it or completely blocking it, which is known as a total solar eclipse. When this happens the light bursts out the sides creating an annulus, or ring of light. Here is a video of a total solar eclipse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWBmKQRQsks&feature=related The annulus is at 2:22
Are lunar phases related to lunar eclipses?
Lunar phases are tightly related to both kinds of eclipse: -- A lunar eclipse can occur only at the time of Full Moon. -- A solar eclipse can occur only at the time of New Moon.

Did the solar eclipse ever kill a human?
We are not aware of any fatalities in history that are directly related to the occurrence of a solar eclipse.
What is it called when the moon moves in front of the sun?
The two points where the moon crosses the plane of the earth's orbit are known as the 'nodes' of the moon's orbit. If the moon happens to be near one of the nodes at the time of New Moon or Full Moon, then that's exactly when either a solar or a lunar eclipse can occur (respectively).
