Lunar Eclipse
Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
For a lunar eclipse to occur, the Sun, Earth, and Moon must be roughly aligned in a line. Otherwise, the Earth cannot cast a shadow on the Moon's surface and an eclipse cannot take place. While the three bodies are aligned in a way that the Moon is partly covered by Earth's umbra, a partial lunar eclipse is the result.
