False; that's a solar eclipse.When the moon passes directly between the earth and the sun, it causes a lunar eclipse. Is it true or false?
FALSE! The earth is actually between the sun and the moon. An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one nested inside the other. The outer or penumbral shadow is a zone where the Earth blocks part but not all of the Sun's rays from reaching the Moon. In contrast, the inner or umbral shadow is a region where the Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.

False. that's called a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow falls on the moon- when the earth is between the moon and the sun.
FALSE, he's right... I was getting myself mixed up... A LUNAR ECLIPSE is when the Earth's shadow blocks the moons reflection of the sun's light.





A SOLAR ECLIPSE is when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, thus blocking the light coming from the sun.
