No, when the Earth is in the middle it's Full Moon and the Moon is up from sunset to sunrise.
No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
The moon orbits the earth at an average distance of 226,000 miles, while the earth orbits the sun at a distance of around 93,000,000 miles.
Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
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
When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
Venus and Mars
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
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.
At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.
When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, it is in its new moon phase. From Earth, the side of the Moon facing us appears dark as the illuminated side is facing away from us towards the Sun. This alignment is known as a solar eclipse when the Moon blocks the Sun partially or completely as seen from Earth.
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).
No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.
Full Moon.
When the Earth is directly between the Sun and Moon, its shadow falls on the moon, causing a Lunar Eclipse.
