SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -An eclipse takes place when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet moves into the shadow of another heavenly body.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a lunar eclipse, the three bodies line up in a different order-sun, Earth, moon-and the Earth casts its shadow on the moon, turning the moon a deep red.

Detailed explanation-3: -A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, casting the Moon’s shadow on Earth. A solar eclipse can only happen during a New Moon.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a partial lunar eclipse? As its name might imply, a partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth and Moon aren’t exactly aligned, so only part of the Moon passes into Earth’s umbral shadow and thus only part of it appears red.

Detailed explanation-5: -Also known as the eclipse of the sun, it occurs when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. As a result, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth’s surface and casts a shadow on it. This occurs in a new moon phase. We can observe up to 5 solar eclipses per year.
