1) Eclipse of the Sun: because the Moon blocks the Sun's light.

This causes a shadow on the Earth.

2) Eclipse of the Moon: because the Earth blocks the light from the Sun.

This causes a shadow on the Moon.

They occur because the earth is blocking the light from the sun so the moon appears to vanish slowly.
