Lunar eclipse can take place only when the moon is full?

As far as I know, there are full and partial eclipses of the full moon and every other moon phase. It all depends on position and timing of the moon and the planet or star that eclipses it. Full or partial eclpise can only occur at Full Moon.


Why is the moon still full after 4 days?

It is difficult to tell exactly when the Moon is full just by looking; a Moon that's a day or two before the full moon is almost as bright as the full moon itself, and it remains quite bright for a day or two after.


How is the position of the full moon in relation to earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venis in relation to earth and the sun?

During a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the entire illuminated side of the moon to be visible from Earth. In contrast, a full Venus (or superior conjunction) occurs when Venus is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth, making it difficult to observe because its illuminated side faces away from us. Thus, while we can see the full moon clearly, a full Venus is not visible from Earth.


Which position is the moon in to cause a spring tide?

The moon needs to be in line with the sun, creating a syzygy, for a spring tide to occur. A syzygy happens during a full moon and new moon when the gravitational forces of the sun and moon combine to produce higher high tides and lower low tides.

Why does a lunar eclipse occur during the full moon?

A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.

When do you have a full moon?

You have a full moon when the moon is on the other side of the Earth from thesun. This allows for the light from the sun to pass the earth, reflect of the entireface of the moon, and come back to the Earth.====================================The sun is always reflecting "off the entire face of the moon" ... that is, lighting uphalf of the moon's surface. The moon just has to be in the right position for us tosee the entire lighted half. When it is in that position, then we call it a full moon.

Why does it have to be a full moon during a lunar eclipse?

because when an eclipse takes place the moon, sun, and earth have to be lined up directly. and in this position the moon is full. in a solar eclipse the moon would be new


If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?

If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
