Solar Eclipse: There is a new moon. The sun is blocked out by the moon for some time. Lunar Eclipse: There is a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The reflective light of the moon is blocked by the Earth.

A lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This can result in a partial or total eclipse of the Moon.
