A "node" is a point where the Moon passes through the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit around the sun). Because the moon's orbital plane around the Earth is inclined 5 degrees with respect to Earth's orbit around the sun, the Moon's orbit only intersects the Earth's solar orbit every 6 months (approximately).
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon touches a node on the line of nodes between the Earth and the Sun. A lunar eclipse occurs when the opposite happens - the moon touches the ecliptic plane when the Earth is between it and the sun.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
It can cause lunar eclipses, and solar eclipses.
because of our location on earth so depending on where we are on earth you can see a total or partial solar and lunar eclipses
Because for any given point on Earth, lunar eclipses are visible more often than solar eclipses.
Lunar eclipses are fairly common sights. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year.

All eclipses are shadows. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth. A lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
