9. Now one can ask… Now one can ask… How does the moon get light in Full Moon? How does the moon get light in Full Moon? Reason: The Orbital Plane of Moon is Tilted at an Angle of 5 degrees w.r.t Earth’s equator. So, Only when the plane coincides with Sun-Earth Plane, we have Lunar Eclipse. Same is True with Solar Eclipse Sun Moon Sun Earth Plane Earth Moon’s Orbital Plane 5 degrees Equator Intro New Moon 1 st Quart Full Moon Last Quart EclipseConclusion
