The difference is vanishingly small. For all practical purposes,
they may be considered essentially one and the same.
A lunar eclipse is when the shadow of the earth passes over the moon, and a solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's light from Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks the sun's light from the moon.
In a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's light from Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks the sun's light from the moon.
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon crosses in front of the Sun, while with a lunar eclipse the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon so the Moon goes dark. You can only see a solar eclipse in daytime, while you can only see a lunar eclipse at night-time.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover the moon.
During a solar eclipse the Moon come between the Sun and Earth casting a shadow on the Earth. During a lunar eclipse the Earth blocks the sunlight from illuminating the Moon.A lunar eclipse is when the earth moves between the moon and the sun to make a shadow on the moon, a solar eclipse is where the moon gets between the earth and the sun and causes a shadow on the earth.
Solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth (The three objects would appear in this order: Sun >> Moon >> Earth). A lunar eclipse is when the Moon pass into the shadow of the Earth ( The three objects would appear in this order: Sun >> Earth >> Moon ).
solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the sun and the earth but in a lunar eclipse the earth comes between the sun and the moon
Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon. Solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon phase, while lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase. Solar eclipse can be total, partial, or annular depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Lunar eclipse can be total or partial depending on how much of the moon is covered by Earth's shadow.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth.
