What are the 3 types of lunar and solar eclipses?

The three types of solar eclipses are total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse, and annular solar eclipse. The three types of lunar eclipses are total lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse and a penumbral lunar eclipse. Solar eclipse is seen from few places only. Lunar eclipses are spotted from many places.

How do you describe a solar lunar eclipse?

Traditionally, eclipses are divided into two major types: solar and lunar. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, leaving a moving region of shadow on Earth's surface. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.

What is the correct order of a lunar cycle?

These eight phases are, in order, new Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent. The cycle repeats once a month (every 29.5 days).
