A eclipse is a shadow. A shadow is a blocking of the Sun's light. There are two kinds of shadows: the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
The first kind is a Solar Eclipse, because from a Earth person's perspective, the Sun is darkened. The other is a Lunar Eclipse because -- again, from an Earth perspective -- the Moon is darkened.
