Answer 1

Answer:

1.→true Lunar eclipse occur whenever the moon passes into the shadow of earth. Solar eclipse occur when the new moon eclipse slips in front of the sun and blocks it from view. This moon's shadow then falls upon the earth.

2→ A lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes in between the moon and the sun. During a solar eclipse, the moon partially or fully hides the sun's rays for a few minutes. During a lunar eclipse, the earth's shade partially or fully hides the moon for a brief period of time. Happens once in 18 months.

3→When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can happen only when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.
