It would look like a solar eclipse, except for a few things:
It would last much longer
You would see a red ring of light around the earth when the sun was covered.
Uh, that's all I can think of right now...

∙ 13y agoWe already know that, because of all the pictures taken of the earth from the moon during Project Appolo. From the moon's surface, the earth is a beautiful ball, largely blue, with mottled greens and browns in the land areas. More often than not, it is partially obscured by clumps of white clouds in it's atmosphere. It would appear somewhat larger from the moon, than the moon does from earth.

∙ 9y agoIf you were on the surface of the moon during a lunar eclipse, it would be dark since either the earth or the sun would be in front of it. If you, however, were on the lighted side of the sun during the eclipse, you would see partial light and have to wait for the eclipse to end to see full light again.

Great question!

Lunar eclipses occur every 3 years?
Typically, lunar eclipses occur once or twice a year. Because more than half of all lunar eclipses are partial, and because lunar eclipses are visible only from the side of the Earth where the Moon is up, you would generally be able to see a total lunar eclipse every other year or every 3rd year from your location. The rest of the eclipses would be either partial, or not visible from your location. You can check the NASA Eclipse Web Page to see the catalog of all eclipses from 2000 BCE to 3000 AD at the link below.

WHEN THE MOON AND SUN ARE ALIGNED THE PRODUCE?
Of course, you can always draw a straight line from Moon to Sun, so really, to be interesting, the alignment would involve Earth, Sun, and the Moon. If they are in a straight line, there will sometimes be solar eclipses, or lunar eclipses.
