➤ Answer :-

Solar Eclipse :-

  • 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.
  • Such alignment coincides with a new moon indicating the Moon is closest to the ecliptic plane.

Lunar Eclipse :-

  • A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow.
  • This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with Earth between the other two, and only on the night of a full moon.
