Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse

Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan)and Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan)

Solar eclipse takes place when Moon comes betwen Sun and Earth. This happens on a new moon day, when the sun and the moon are conjunct and lie on the same side of the earth. SInce the orbit of the moon is tilted at an angle of 5 degrees approximately to the ecliptic , the sun-moon-earth trio does not fall on same line on every new moon day. Hence there is no eclipse on every new moon day.

A lunar eclipse takes place when Moon happens to be opposite to the sun with the intervening between the two. The shadow of the earth falls on the moon. This happens on the full moon day when the sun-moon-earth trio falls on the same line.Again, because of the obliquity of the moon's path to the ecliptic,this situaution does not arise every full moon day.

In Vedic astrology, Rahu / Ketu causes Solar eclipse and lunar eclipse when either Sun or Moon are conjunct with Rahu or Ketu. When Sun, Moon, and Rahu or Ketu fall on the same zodiacal longitude, eclipse takes place. Rahu is responsible for solar eclipse and Ketu for lunar eclipse.
