Solution

For a lunar eclipse to occur, the following conditions must be met:

  1. The Earth's shadow must fall on the Moon: This is correct. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

  2. The Moon's shadow must fall on the Earth: This is incorrect. This scenario describes a solar eclipse, not a lunar eclipse.

  3. The Earth must be between the Moon and the Sun: This is correct. For a lunar eclipse to occur, the Earth must be positioned between the Sun and the Moon.

  4. The Moon must be between the Earth and the Sun: This is incorrect. This scenario describes a solar eclipse, not a lunar eclipse.

So, the correct answers are "The Earth's shadow must fall on the Moon" and "The Earth must be between the Moon and the Sun".
