Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon
AnswerClick to flip back
A
True
💡 Explanation:
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. This alignment can only happen during a full moon, when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle. At other moon phases, the alignment required for an eclipse is not possible.
