Solar and Lunar eclipses only occur when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned. If the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, a solar eclipse occurs, and the moon will cast a shadow on the earth, causing day to suddenly turn dark in a matter of minutes. These are rare occurences. A Lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and Moon, and the effect is that the moon is not lit and doesn't appear in the sky. Hope this helps!
