How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?

Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.


What occurs when earth is in a direct line between the sun and the moon?

A LUNAR Eclipse. This occurs at Full Moon. A lunar eclipse changes the moon's reflective light from 'bright white' to a dull 'grey/red' light. This is the Rayleigh effect. During a partial lunar eclipse, the curved shadow between light and dark is the shadow of the Earth upon the Moon. Moon Do not confuse with Solar Eclipse, when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth (New Moon). NNB Solar Eclipse ; Sun - Moon - Earth (New Moon) Lunar Eclipse ; Sun - Earth - Moon.
