SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -During a full Moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky. That’s why we can see the full face of the Moon reflecting sunlight. As the Earth rotates, the Moon rises just as the Sun sets, but just on that one day of the month.

Detailed explanation-3: -Full Moon-The Moon’s illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon appears to be completely illuminated by direct sunlight. Waning Gibbous-The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun in its orbit, then the back side of the Moon is lit up and the side facing the Earth is in darkness. This is called a new Moon. If the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun, then the near side of the Moon will be fully lit up: a full Moon.

Detailed explanation-5: -When the moon is located between the earth and the sun, it is called a new moon phase. During this phase, the moon is not visible because the lit-up side faces away from the earth.
