Does a moon completely cover the sun in a total solar eclipse?
Yes, in a total eclipse the Moon does cover the Sun completely. As the Earth, Moon and Sun are constantly moving, the eclipse doesn't last long. It is important that you don't look directly at the eclipse with the naked eye - or your sight could be damaged.

Why does a lunar eclipse last longer than solar eclipse?
a lunar eclipse is when the earth's shadow is cast over the moon, while a solar eclipse is when the moon's shadow is cast over the earth. the earth is a lot bigger than the moon (obviously), so it will have a larger shadow that cover the moon, therefore lasting longer -- on the other hand, the moon (being much smaller than the earth) will cast a smaller shadow over the earth (not even covering the entire earth)
What is the difference between a solar eclipse and and lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun and the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth, solar eclipses can be total, partial, or annular. A total eclipse is when the Moon obscures the Sun entirely. A partial eclipse is when the Moon only covers a portion of the Sun. Because the Moon's orbit about the Earth is not perfectly circular, sometimes it is slightly farther away from the Earth. If a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is at the far point in its orbit, the Moon will not cover the Sun entirely. A thin ring, or annulus, of sunlight will be visible around the Moon. This kind of eclipse is called an annular eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and Sun. Lunar eclipses are either total or partial, depending upon whether the Moon moves completely into the Earth's shadow or not.
What would a lunar eclipse look like for an astronaut on the moon?
It would look like a solar eclipse - Earth would cover the Sun.
What is a eclipse of the moons?
The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.
