Solution

The correct option is A Both statements 1 and 2 are true.
Solar eclipse can occur only during a new Moon phase. It occurs when the Moon moves between the Earth and the Sun and the three celestial bodies form a straight line: Earth - Moon - Sun.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and blocks the Sun's rays from directly reaching the Moon. Lunar eclipses only happen at full Moon.
