Generation

# Solar and Lunar Eclipses **Solar Eclipse:** A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. This can only happen during a new moon when all three bodies align in space. **Lunar Eclipse:** A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can only occur during a full moon and makes the Moon appear darkened or reddish as it passes through Earth's shadow.
