Detailed explanation-1: -During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon. There are two kinds of lunar eclipses: A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only part of Earth’s shadow covers the Moon.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lunar eclipses occur at the full moon phase. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the lunar surface a striking red over the course of a few hours. Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complete Answer: Solar Eclipse: A solar eclipse is a phenomenon in which the moon enters the halfway of the earth and the sun. The moon obstructs the sunlight and casts the shadow on the earth surface. A solar eclipse can only happen at the stage of a new moon when the moon passes directly between the sun and earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun is completely blocked in a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun. Even though the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, because it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully blocks the Sun’s light from Earth’s perspective.
