When the earth sun and moon are perfectly aligned with earth in the middle which type of eclipse occurs

When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are perfectly aligned with the Earth in the middle, a **lunar eclipse** occurs. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks sunlight from directly reaching the Moon, which causes the Moon to appear darker or take on a reddish hue, often referred to as a "blood moon."

In contrast, when the order is Sun, Earth, and Moon, and the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, a **solar eclipse** occurs.
