An eclipse takes place when a planet or moon passes between another planet, moon or the sun.There are 2 types of eclipses: Solar eclipse Lunar eclipse Eclipses can be partial, total, or annular depending on the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun. Solar eclipses are much more rare than lunar eclipses, occurring only once every 18 months.

When the moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun on the same line, casting a shaow on the surface of the Earth.

Partial Solar Eclipse – Visible if you are in the penumbra of the shadow. Only some of the Sun will be shadowed.
Annular Eclipse – occurs when the moon is farthest from the Earth in its orbit. This makes the moon look smaller, so during the eclipse you see an outer ring of light from the Sun.
Total Eclipse – occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit. This makes the moon look bigger, so during the total eclipse you can only see the light ring - have to be in a very specific spot to see it!

If the Moon's orbit were exactly aligned with ours we would see A solar eclipse every New Moon A lunar eclipse every Full Moon Why doesn't this happen??? The moon's orbit is tilted approximately 5 degrees from ours This means the Moon and the Earths orbits MUST align in order of an eclipse to occur
