syzygy| In astronomy, alignment of three celestial bodies, usually the Sun, Earth, and Moon or the Sun, Earth, and another planet. A syzygy involving the Sun, Earth, and Moon occurs during solar and lunar eclipses. |
| More loosely, the term refers to the Moon or another planet when it is in conjunction or opposition, although generally it is not then exactly in a straight line with the Earth and Sun. |
