    Eclipses occur when the sun, moon, and earth are aligned so that one casts its shadow on another. There are two types of eclipses - lunar eclipses, which occur when the earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, and solar eclipses, which occur when the moon blocks the sun's light from reaching parts of the earth. The different types of eclipses - total, partial, and no eclipse - depend on how much of the sun or moon's surface is covered by the shadow of the earth or moon.

    What is

    Eclipse

    Eclipse: - Just as shadows are cast on the ground,


    the earth, the moon and the other planets cast
    their shadows in space. Eclipses are formation of
    shadows in space.
    Earth revolves round Sun and
    Moon revolves round the Earth. The Sun is larger
    than the Earth and the Earth is larger than the
    moon. The Earth and Moon cast their shadows
    and cause eclipses.

    Kinds of Eclipse:
    The eclipses are of two types depending upon the
    position of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth with
    relation to each other.

    1. Lunar eclipses

    2. Solar eclipses
    1. Lunar eclipses :
    A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is between
    the sun and the moon and all three are in the
    same straight line,the shadow of the earth falls
    on the moon. Lunar eclipse occurs only on a full
    moon day.

    no eclipse total eclipse

    Partial eclipse

    2. Solar eclipses :
    A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between
    the sun and the earth and when all the three arein
    same straight line,the shadow of the moon falls on
    the earth.
    Partial eclipse total eclipse
