A solar eclipse, because the moon passes between the earth and the moon, meaning the part of the moon facing us is in shadow.
the first is a solar eclipse which happens when the moon passes in front of the sun blocking is view from earth. the second is a lunar eclipse which happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon blacking out the moon temporarily. this is merely the earth casting its shadow on the moon as the earth orbits between the sun and moon.
A solar eclipse is where the moon obscures the sun from observers on earth, the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun out to us on earth. The moon is in a new moon phase at this point, we cant see it before or after the eclipse, as the sunlight reflecting back off its surface is on the other side to us.
