A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.

What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the sun is blocked from view due to the moon passing exactly in front of the sun as it circles around the globe. However, since the earth moon and sun do not share the same orbital plane, this happens very rarely. You MUST wear special protective eye covering to directly observe a solar eclipse or you risk causing serious injury including blindness. Sunglasses, however good they are, DO NOT PROTECT YOUR EYES during a solar eclipse. Don't directly observe a solar eclipse unless you have guaranteed that your eye wear is certified to protect you. A lunar eclipse is when the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the globe, and the moon is full. At this time, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon this is called a lunar eclipse. The moon will often appear red during a total lunar eclipse. For the same reason as a solar eclipse, this also happens very rarely, but more frequently at a given location than solar eclipses. It is safe to observe a lunar eclipse without any special protective covering for the eyes. Just remember that if you are looking at an eclipse at night, it is safe to view.
