To experience a lunar eclipse, a person is standing on Earth's surface near where it points toward the full moon. Directly behind the person, on the very opposite side of Earth is where the Sun is shining (and trying to light up the Moon). That places Earth in a position where it shades the Moon from the Sun's rays. As the Earth and Moon rotate and orbit, the eclipse soon is over.

Would a person standing in the Moon's would see a total solar eclipse?

Yes, a person standing on the Moon would see a total solar eclipse if they were positioned in the right spot during a lunar eclipse. From the Moon's perspective, the Earth would pass directly in front of the Sun, creating a total eclipse. However, because the Moon has no atmosphere, the view would be stark and dramatic, with the Earth appearing as a dark disk silhouetted against the bright solar corona. This phenomenon is distinct from how we experience solar eclipses from Earth.

If you were on the moon during a lunar eclipse what kind of eclipse would you experience?

It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.
