A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle.

(a way 2 remember is lunar means "moon", and the moon comes last in a lunar eclipse)
is causes it because the earth spins around the axis causing the lunar and solar eclipse ?
Solar eclipses are caused by the moon's shadow when the moon's orbit makes it travel between the earth and the sun - total eclipses are caused by the umbra and partial eclipses by the penumbra of the shadow per se. Lunar eclipses are caused by the earth's shadow when its orbit takes it between the sun and the moon. Naturally, lunar eclipses can best be seen at night and solar eclipses during the day.
Lunar eclipses occur when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon gets in front of the Sun, obscuring it from our view.
