An eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another celestial body. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light, while a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Both types of eclipses can only take place during specific alignments of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, which typically happen during a new moon (for solar eclipses) or a full moon (for lunar eclipses). Additionally, the alignment must be precise, as eclipses do not occur every month due to the tilt of the Moon's orbit.

No, an eclipse will only occur when the moon is passing through a node if it also aligns with the Earth and the Sun in a specific way. This alignment is what creates the conditions for a solar or lunar eclipse to take place.
