During any eclipse, the sun, moon, and Earth must be lined up
on the same line, so that the one farthest from the sun is in the
shadow of the middle one.
During a solar eclipse, the moon is the one in the middle, and
part of the Earth is in its shadow.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is the one in the middle, and
the moon is in its shadow.
