A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
New moon.
Because a solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun. The only way for this to happen is if the moon is between the sun and the earth. When the moon is between the sun and the earth, it is a new moon.
The Moon's phase when it's between the Earth and the sun is called a New Moon. It's in this position where at times there is a Solar Eclipse of the Sun. Please refer to the link I have attached.
For a new moon to occur the moon must be between earth and the sun
This is the description of the "New Moon".
The new moon phase occurs when the moon lies between the sun and Earth, with the side facing Earth in shadow. This position causes the moon to be not visible from Earth as the illuminated side faces away.
The New Moon is when the lit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, and only the dark side is visible.
new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it lies closest to the Sun in the sky as seen from the Earth
When the moon lies between the sun and the Earth, it is in a position known as a new moon. During this phase, the side of the moon that is illuminated by the sun faces away from the Earth, leaving the side facing us in darkness. As a result, the moon is not visible from our perspective. This alignment occurs roughly every 29.5 days as part of the moon's lunar cycle.
No. Quite the opposite. A new moon occurs when the moon is between the earth and the sun In astronomical terminology, the new moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon, in its monthly orbital motion around Earth, lies between Earth and the Sun, and is therefore in conjunction with the Sun as seen from Earth. At this time, the dark (unilluminated) portion of the Moon faces almost directly toward Earth, so that the Moon is not visible to the naked eye.
A full moon occurs when Earthlings have full view of the side of the moon that they are facing. By contrast, a new moon occurs when the entire side of the moon that is facing the Earth lies in its shadow, and is therefore unable to be seen.
At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
