It is a solar eclipse. The Moon passes across the face of the Sun, and blocks out the sunlight for a short period, so casting a shadow on the Earth.
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse. It occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
This is called a lunar eclipse. (A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes between the earth and the sun.)
It's called a solar eclipse when the moon moves between sun and earth casting a shadow
I assume that you meant to have moon between the and is. If you did, then it is called a solar eclipse when the moon is between the earth and the sun.
The Sun is NEVER between the Earth and the Moon. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, this is called a Solar Eclipse. When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, this is called a Lunar Eclipse.
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
If the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, it is called a lunar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, the sun can be partially concealed by the moon. This alignment creates a temporary blocking of sunlight, casting a shadow on Earth.
This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse. It occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
The "new moon" is when the Moon passes (almost) between the Sun and the Earth. The next new moon will be on November 16, 2009.If the Moon were to pass EXACTLY between the Sun and the Earth, there would be a solar eclipse.
When the moon is blocking the earth from the sun, its called a solar eclipse, and when the earth is between the sun and the moon, its called a lunar eclipse. hope that answered your question! :D
At the full moon, the Moon and the Sun are on approximately opposite sides of the world, with the Earth roughly in between them. If the Earth were EXACTLY in between them, we would have a total lunar eclipse. But at the full moon, the Moon is normally a couple of degrees above or below the line from the Sun to the Earth. Partial and penumbral lunar eclipses happen when the Earth is NOT QUITE exactly in between the Sun and the Moon.
A lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse is the other way around when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun. This would be a solar eclipse
This is called a lunar eclipse. (A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes between the earth and the sun.)
It's called a solar eclipse when the moon moves between sun and earth casting a shadow
That's Full Moon. If the arrangement is in exactly the same line, then there's a lunar eclipse.
