An eclipse occurs due to the rotation of the moon around the sun. The Moon is a cold and rocky planet which is around 2,160 miles in diameter. It has no light of its own but it receives light from the sun.That is the reason why an eclipse occurs- because the earth blocks the moon from receiving the sunlight from the sun. As the moon moves around our planet Earth, it causes different phases of the moon to occur at different times:
- New Moon > New Crescent > First Quarter > Waxing Gibbous> Full Moon >
Waning Gibbous > Last Quarter > Old Crescent > New Moon
Mind map for 'Eclipse':
When an eclipse of the Moon occurs, the people who are are experiencing night time are the people who will see the eclipse. Not everyone in Earth can see it.
