What Causes Lunar and Solar Eclipses?

Lunar and solar eclipses are celestial phenomena that occur when the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun align in specific ways.
A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. This occurs only during a full moon when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in syzygy, or alignment. As the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it can darken partially or completely, resulting in different types of lunar eclipses.
