Definitely not!! When we see a solar eclipse, the sun hasn't changed in any way. The dark shadow we see moving over the sun is the moon passing between the earth and the sun. Since the moon is 1/6 the size of the earth and the sun is 100 times larger than the earth there is no way to completely block the suns light from reaching the earth via the moon. Due to this size difference, in different parts of the world, we would see different things during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse of the northern hemisphere would be but a partial if not a non existent eclipse in parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

A lunar eclipse always occurs twice a year, once in June and once in December; the last lunar eclipse was on June 15th.
