Full moons and lunar eclipses are related astronomical events, as a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon. However, not every full moon results in a lunar eclipse, as the moon's orbit is slightly tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun. This tilt means that the moon often passes above or below the Earth's shadow during a full moon. Therefore, while they occur simultaneously, full moons and lunar eclipses do not occur with the same frequency.
