Both solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are shadows.
In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon darkens a small spot on the Earth.
In a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth hits the Moon. Because the Earth is much larger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is much larger than the Moon's shadow, so in about half of the time, the Moon is completely shadowed. The small Moon shadow is rarely more than about 500 miles across on the Earth, so only a tiny part of the Earth experiences a solar eclipse.

How is sonar and echolocation alike?
An echo is like a sonar because they both reflct the sound they cause. The sonar is useful to the navy army to find out where the lost ships are located, so basically they are navigating the exact location of ships and sumbarines. An echo as you can see can be most used when screaming in the gym or an enormous place with no one in there. I hope this helped you.
