Question

when is a lunar eclipse likely to occur? when the moon passes between earth and the sun when earth passes between the sun and the moon during the new moon lunar phase during the third quarter lunar phase

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth is between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the moon. The first option describes a solar eclipse (moon between Earth and sun). New moon is when solar eclipses occur, and third quarter isn't related to lunar eclipses. So the correct option is the one where Earth is between sun and moon.

Answer:

B. when Earth passes between the sun and the moon
