What role do shadows play in eclipses?

It provides the light seen around the Moon, in a solar eclipse. It provides the light the Earth blocks out, during a lunar eclipse. Light leaks around the Earth, in a lunar eclipse. Since Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters blue, the light reaching the Moon is red, almost a brick red when you look at the eclipsed Moon.

What does the role revolution play in the occurrence of an eclipse?

An eclipse is merely a shadow cast across the earth, by the moon getting between us and the sun. As the earth spins underneath this shadow, the shadow appears to travel across the earth. The shadow is relatively small and only covers a small patch, underneath which will give a total eclipse. So as the earth spins this will limit the time that any one place, under the path, will have an eclipse.
