If you can see the solar eclipse, then you are in the Moon's shadow.
An astronaut on the Moon - or any of the Moon residents, starting about 30 years from now - would see a solar eclipse where we here on Earth see a lunar eclipse.
Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.
It can happen at any time of day - while the Sun is above the horizon, of course, otherwise you won't see a solar eclipse.
The Moon comes between the Sun and the observer in this case.
During a solar eclipse, the shadow of the MOON falls on the EARTH.
There are different kinds of solar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when an astrological body blocks view of the sun. If the observer is standing on the earth, and the moon moves in between the observer and the sun, that is an eclipse. If the observer is standing on earth's moon, and the earth moves between the observer and the sun, that is also an eclipse.

From the perspective of a lunar observer, it would be a solar eclipse; the Earth would pass between the Sun and the Moon.

It would during a solar eclipse, but probably not during a lunar eclipse.
The Moon comes between the Sun and the observer in this case.
The sun is hidden during a solar eclipse
During a solar eclipse, the shadow of the MOON falls on the EARTH.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon is directly in between the Sun and the Earth; a solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow falling on the Earth.
A solar eclipse occurs when the path of the moon comes between the sun and the earth. The moon casts a shadow on the earth's surface and an observer within that shadow would see a solar eclipse.
The white halo that can be seen during the Solar Eclipse is the Sun's Corona.
