What is a solar and a lunar eclips?
A solar eclipse is when the moon itself is between you and the sun, blocking the sun from view. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, and the Earth's shadow blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon.
What are similarities between solar and lunar eclipses?
The Sun, Moon, and Earth are all aligned in both.
How often does a total lunar eclipse happen?
"During the five thousand year period from 2000 BCE through 3000 CE, there were 7,718 eclipses of the Moon (partial and total).This averages out to about one and a half eclipses each year.Actually, the number of lunar eclipses in a single year can range from 0 to 3. The last time that 3 total lunar eclipses occurred in one calendar year was in 1982. Partial eclipses slightly outnumber total eclipses by 7 to 6."-From MrEclipse.com (see related link below for year by year occurrences including the current year )Lunar Eclipses (the darkening of a full moon by the shadow of the Earth) occur every 6 months, and total lunar eclipses normally come in sets of three, followed by three partial eclipses.How it works:The moon has no light of its own, it shines by the sunlight that is reflected off its surface.The Moon orbits the Earth about once every 29.5 days. As it circles our planet, the changing position of the Moon with respect to the Sun causes our natural satellite to cycle through a series of phases:New Moon > New Crescent > First Quarter > Waxing Gibbous> Full Moon > Waning Gibbous > Last Quarter > Old Crescent > New MoonAn eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can onlyoccur at Full Moon, if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow....There are three major types of lunar eclipses:Penumbral Lunar Eclipse-The Moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.Partial Lunar Eclips-A portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.Total Lunar Eclipse- The entire Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.

Would it get colder during a solar eclipse?
The tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the Earth (and to a far lesser extent, the Sun's gravitational pull). That pull will always be there, regardless of the event of an eclipse.
