Question

a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth and blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth true or false

Answer 1

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light.

Answer 2

Solar eclipse. ... During a partial solar eclipse (right), the Moon blocks only part of the Sun's disk (October 23, 2014). A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. This occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned.
