Generation

# Solar and Lunar Eclipses **Solar Eclipse:** Occurs when the Moon passes 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. **Lunar Eclipse:** Occurs when Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can only happen during a full moon when the three bodies align. **Key Formula:** The angular size formula determines if total eclipses are possible: **θ = d/D**, where θ is angular diameter, d is the object's actual diameter, and D is its distance from Earth. The Moon and Sun have nearly identical angular sizes (~0.5°), making total solar eclipses possible.
