When is the lunar eclipse and solar eclipse?


Asked by Kellan Powell on Dec 02, 2021 Eclipse



Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: November 29/30, 2020. Annular Solar Eclipse: June 21, 2020. Mercury Transit: November 11, 2019. Partial Lunar Eclipse: July 16–17, 2019. Total Solar Eclipse: July 2, 2019.
And,
A second total lunar eclipse will take place on July 27, 2018 and will only be visible on the Eastern Hemisphere. The next total lunar eclipse that will be visible for everyone in the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, is on January 21, 2019.
Accordingly, Every three and a half years, two total lunar eclipses will happen within the same year. Every 200 years, three total lunar eclipses happen in the same year.
In fact,
For the lunar eclipse to happen, the Moon’s phase must be “full”, which means that the orbiting Moon is opposite the Sun, with Earth in between. When the Sun sets in the west, the Moon rises in the east — and this event happens once a “moonth” (or month). But a lunar eclipse does not happen every month.
Subsequently,
A solar eclipse happens when the moon gets in the way of the sun's light and casts its shadow on Earth . That means during the day, the moon moves over the sun and it gets dark. ... During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the sun's light hitting the moon. That means that during the night, a full moon fades away as Earth's shadow covers it up.
