A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing what to happen?

Explanation

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, causing Earth’s shadow to fall across the moon’s surface. Unlike a solar eclipse, which is only visible from a narrow path on Earth, a lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth where the moon is visible. Lunar eclipses only occur during a full moon phase, when the moon is positioned opposite the sun relative to Earth. Explore more Everyday Science MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
