An eclipse is a celestial event where one astronomical body moves into the shadow of another. This can occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun align in a specific way. There are two main types of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.
What is a Solar Eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or part of the Sun's light. In 2024, there will be two solar eclipses. The first one will be on April 9th, and the second one will be on October 3rd.
What is a Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In 2024, there will be two lunar eclipses. The first one will be on March 25th, and the second one will be a partial lunar eclipse on September 18th.
