Jakarta: Phenomenon eclipse is a natural event that is often experienced by people around the world. In fact, about four to seven times a year, eclipse phenomena can occur.
This phenomenon can occur when the earth, moon, and sun line up exactly in the same line. This can happen because the moon’s orbit around the earth is tilted relative to the earth’s orbit around the sun which causes eclipses to occur occasionally.

Eclipse itself is divided into two types, namely: lunar eclipse and solar eclipses. When a lunar eclipse occurs, the earth’s shadow will obscure the moon and vice versa during a solar eclipse, the moon will block the sun from view.
Launching from the page PintarThe following is the understanding and process of the occurrence of a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse:
Definition of lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse is an event where the moon enters the Earth’s shadow. This type of eclipse occurs at night when the moon is in the full moon phase and can be seen when the sun – earth – moon are in a straight line.
The process of a lunar eclipse
Lunar eclipses are further divided into two types, namely partial lunar eclipses and total lunar eclipses. A partial lunar eclipse usually occurs when the moon enters the Earth’s penumbra.
The penumbra is the region of the earth’s shadow that is not too dark. Meanwhile, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon enters the earth’s umbra, or the dark shadow of the earth.
Definition of solar eclipse
A solar eclipse is an event where the sun’s rays are blocked by the moon so that some places on earth do not get sunlight. This type of eclipse occurs during the day and when the moon is in the new moon phase and occurs when the sun – moon – earth are in a straight line.
The process of a solar eclipse
There are two types of lunar eclipses, as well as solar eclipses. Solar eclipse It is divided into a partial solar eclipse and a total solar eclipse.
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the earth enters the moon’s penumbra. Meanwhile, a total solar eclipse will be visible to people in the umbra area of the moon, whereas if observed from the penumbra area, only a partial solar eclipse will be visible.
This is the meaning and process of the occurrence of a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse. After knowing the process, do you Medcom Interested in seeing the two eclipses firsthand? (Gabriella Carissa Maharani Prahyta)
