What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and the new moon?
As much detail and links helpful!
Best answer:
Answer by KA new moon is when the moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, and is thus not illuminated at all and invisible to us. A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon, when the moon is exactly opposite the Sun and fully illuminated, but then passes through Earth's shadow, dimming it and making it appear reddish-brown.
