A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This alignment requires the Moon to be in the full phase, as it must be opposite the Sun in the sky. Additionally, the Moon's orbit should intersect the Earth's orbital plane, which happens at specific points called nodes. Without these conditions, a lunar eclipse cannot take place.
