Solar and lunar eclipses are celestial phenomena that occur when the sun, moon and Earth align in such a way that either the moon casts a shadow on the Earth or the Earth casts a shadow on the moon. So, what are the similarities and differences between lunar and solar eclipses?

Just as the Earth moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit each year, our natural satellite, the Moon, also orbits the Earth. It takes approximately 27,322 days for the Moon to complete one revolution around our planet. Due to all the interrelated movements that occur between these three celestial bodies, several physical phenomena occur. When the new moon, during its revolution around the Earth, moves between the sun and the Earth, it blocks the sun's rays, which casts a shadow on parts of the planet. This is called a solar eclipse or solar eclipse. In other words, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes in a direct line between the Sun and Earth.

Since the Moon continually revolves around the Earth, it is only natural that it sometimes places itself between the sun and the Earth, while at other times it places itself BEHIND the Earth, so that the Earth is located between the Moon and the Sun. When this happens, we see a lunar eclipse.
