Answer 6

this is for the venn diagram
Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon and when the moon is on the ecliptic plane. Only during full moon, the Sun’s light will be blocked.
Solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon and when the moon is on the ecliptic plane. As this is the time when the moon’s shadow casts on the Earth.
Lunar eclipses can occur up to 3 times a year. The number of lunar eclipses per calendar year can vary from two to five if penumbral lunar eclipses are counted. In a penumbral lunar eclipse, the Moon only passes through the lighter, penumbra or outer part of the Earth's shadow. Since penumbral eclipses are often inconspicuous, the number of conspicuous (i.e., umbral) lunar eclipses can range from zero to three each calendar year.
Solar eclipses can occur at least 2 and no more than 5 times a year.
