∙ 11y agoIt is called a lunar eclipse when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the Moon.
When the moon moves between the sun and Earth, it is called a solar eclipse. This celestial event occurs when the moon's shadow falls on Earth, blocking out some or all of the sun's light.
The moon moves in its orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This orbit is not circular but elliptical, causing the moon's distance from Earth to vary. Additionally, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, resulting in the same side of the moon always facing Earth.
When the Moon moves away from between the Sun and Earth, a solar eclipse ends, and the full brightness of the Sun is no longer obscured. The Moon's movement allows sunlight to be fully visible again from Earth, ending the eclipse phenomenon.

A Solar eclipse is when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, blocking out the sun for a brief period of time. A Lunar eclipse is when the earth moves between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to "disappear" for a brief period of time.
It is called a "new moon" when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, causing the side of the moon that is lit to face away from Earth.
