Eclipse is an occurrence wherein
an astronomical body, most commonly the sun or the moon, is blocked by another
body temporarily. There are two kinds of eclipses that happens from Earth’s
view – solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.
Lunar eclipse occurs when
the sun, Earth and moon align, with the earth at the center. It usually occurs
on a full moon and the moon appears to be reddish in color.
Solar eclipse occurs when
the moon or it’s shadow passes through the earth surface and blocks the sunlight.
This usually occurs during a new moon and during a total solar eclipse, only a
thin disk shape can be seen of the sun that is blocked by the moon.
