Eclipse
When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.

The dark shadow caused by the moon on Earth is called the umbra during a solar eclipse.
"Umbra" means "shadow". When the Moon enters the Earth's shadow, we call that a "total lunar eclipse".
The dark shadow cast by the Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is called the umbra. This is the central and darkest part of the shadow where the light from the Sun is completely blocked.
When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.
This is not really a "why" sort of question.The moon has a shadow, because it's a solid opaque object.The moon's shadow sometimes falls on the Earth, because the Earth, Moon, and Sun are sometimes arranged so that that can happen.When that happens, we call it a solar eclipse. We could call it a mumblefrazz instead, and then I suppose you'd be asking why the moon's shadow was cast on Earth during a mumblefrazz.If the moon were smaller, or further away, its shadow would never fall on the earth (technically, its penumbra or anteumbra still would, but its umbra would not) and we'd never experience total mumblefrazzes.

The Moons of the Earth are really just "The Moon" plus various artifacts and satellites that some might call "artificial moons".
