3. The moon is the earth's nearest
neighbor in space.

5. An eclipse is an astronomical event that
occurs when an astronomical object is
temporarily obscured, either by passing
into the shadow of another body or by
having another body pass between it
and the viewer.

8. What is Lunar
Month
In lunar calendars,
a lunar month is
the time between
two identical
syzygies (new
moon or full
moons).
9. A Lunar month is the amount
of time it takes for the Moon to
pass through each of its phases
(new moon, half, full moon), and
then return back to its original
position. It takes 29 days, 12
hours, 44 minutes and 3 seconds
for the Moon to complete one
lunar month.
10.
11. The new moon is the lunar
phase which happens when
the Moon is full.
12. Full moon is a lunar phase that
occurs when the Moon is on the
opposite side of the Earth from
the Sun. More precisely, a full
moon occurs when the
geocentric apparent (ecliptic)
longitudes of the Sun and
Moon differ by 180 degrees;
the Moon is then
in opposition with the Sun.
13. In astronomy, lunar orbit
(also known as a
Selenocentric orbit) refers to
the orbit of an object around
the Moon.
15. A solar eclipse occurs when the
Moon passes between Earth and the
Sun, thereby totally or partially
obscuring the image of the Sun for a
viewer on Earth. A partial solar
eclipse occurs in the polar regions of
the Earth when the center of the
Moon's shadow misses the Earth.
16.
17. A lunar eclipse occurs when the
Moon passes behind the Earth so
that the Earth blocks the Sun’s rays
from striking the Moon. This can
occur only when the Sun, Earth, and
Moon are aligned exactly, or very
closely so, with the Earth in the
middle.
24. 5. A type of Eclipse occurs when the Moon
passes behind the Earth so that the Earth
blocks the Sun's rays from striking the
Moon.
