When will you have an eclipse?

The earth revolves around the the sun & the moon revoves around the earth.At one time the moon comes between the sun and the earth and they all are in a straight line.at that time moon cuts of the light of sun.This is called solar eclipse. if there is a solar eclipse in one spot one mile from there will be a regular day so where you are needs to be the question of when a solar eclipse is coming


How does a partial solar eclipse happen?

The Moon orbits the Earth once a month, and eclipses happen if it lines up exactly with the Earth and the Sun. Solar eclipses occur at New Moon, when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur at Full Moon, when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. Eclipses do not take place every month because the orbits of the Moon and Earth are tilted at an angle. Most of the time, the line-up is not precise enough for an eclipse.


Where must earth be for a lunar eclipse to occur?

The Earth must be between the Sun and the Moon.


I would like more detail about how the moon orbits the Earth and how and when eclipses happen?

The moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, completing one orbit roughly every 27.3 days. Eclipses occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align in such a way that one body casts a shadow on another. A solar eclipse happens when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.

How do you get a full solar eclipse?

You don't "get" a solar eclipse. The occur randomly in nature as the orbits of the earth and moon are so that the moon is between the sun and Earth where the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching Earth. The same goes for the opposite, the lunar eclipse.


Why does an eclipse not occur every time the moon orbits the earth?

When do a solar and lunar eclipse occur?

Why don't eclipse occur during every full moon or new moon?

This is because the Moon needs to be blocking the source of light provided to us, this source is the Sun. The 'new moon' is the first phase where there is almost no visible moon. The 'full moon' is where you can see the whole moon. To cause a solar eclipse, the moon needs to be in the line of the Earth and the Sun, and to cause a Lunar eclipse, the Earth needs to be in the line of the Sun and the Moon. Sun-Moon-Earth = Solar Eclipse Sun-Earth-Moon = Lunar Eclipse

An eclipse of the Moon can only occur during a Full Moon because?

A lunar eclipse is caused by the Earth's shadow covering the moon. For this to happen, the Earth must be in between the Sun (the source of light) and the moon. The moon's light is caused by reflected light from the Sun, and so a full moon also occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun (but a lunar eclipse does not occur every full moon because the moon also moves up and down slightly as it orbits the Earth).
