Question

State whether true or false.

Lunar eclipse occurs in every full moon night.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Lunar eclipse can occur only on a full moon night. But they do not happen every full moon night because Earth's orbit around the sun is not in the same plane as the moon's orbit around the earth. Eclipse occur only if the the sun, the earth and the moon come to lie in a straight line.
