When the moon comes in between earth and the sun we witness solar eclipse. Though much smaller than the sun, the moon is much closer to earth so, it can cover the whole sun (from our view). The moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the light it gets from the sun. But, when earth comes in between the sun and the moon the shadow (umbra) of earth covers the moon completely. That's what we call lunar eclipse.
