True or False? “A solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon.” Explain.

The partial or total blocking of light from one celestial body by another.

When the simulation was set to the New Moon phase:

The Student Exploration: 3D Eclipse is an interactive simulation designed for students to explore and learn about solar and lunar eclipses in a 3D environment. This review provides an in-depth look at the features, benefits, and effectiveness of this educational tool.
