Lunar Eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's shadow falls on the Earth. A look at the geometry of Moon phases would make it appear that a lunar eclipse should happen at every full moon and a solar eclipse at every new moon. This does not occur because the plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted 5.2Â° with respect to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun (the ecliptic plane).
In a lunar eclipse, the total phase  can last for a maximum of 1 hour and 40 minutes. The maximum time  of a solar eclipse is 7 minutes 40 seconds. A solar eclipse occurs  when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and a lunar  eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
