What's a solar/lunar eclipse?
Question:
Answer:
a solar eclipse is when the moon is between the earth and the sun, and they are all in line. The moon's shadow will block out the sun in some areas on earth. only the people in the moon's shadow will see a full solar eclipse; others will see a partial solar eclipse.
a lunar ecilpse is when the earth is between the moon and the sun. since the earth's shadow blocks sunlight from reaching the moon, the moon appears dark. many people can see a lunar eclipse. a lunar eclipse is the only time the earth's shadow plays a part in the phases of the moon, because normally the earth's shadow doesn't affect how much of the moon we can see since the moon rotates on a tilted axis.
