An eclipse is the word used to describe an astronomical phenomenon in which the Sun, Earth and Moon happen to line up sufficiently for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon (a lunar eclipse) or the Moon's shadow to fall on the Earth (a solar eclipse).
A lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth at once - the dark half. A solar eclipse has a more limited viewing area because the Moon is relatively small. Therefore although lunar and solar eclipses are equally frequent, it appears to anyone in a fixed geographical position that lunar eclipses are more frequent.

An eclipse is when the moon is in direct correlation with the sun and temporarily blocks its light from reaching the earth.
Does eclipse mean shadow?
An eclipse involves the blocking of light, typically from a celestial body, which creates a shadow. In a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth, while in a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. So, while "eclipse" itself doesn't mean "shadow," it is closely related to the phenomenon of shadows being cast during these events.

1) the obscuration of the light of the moon by the intervention of the earth between it and the sun (lunar eclipse) or the obscuration of the light of the sun by the intervention of the moon between it and a point on the earth (solar eclipse). 2) any obscuration of light.
Can everybody see a lunar eclipse at the same time?
No, just as in a solar eclipse, the sun, earth and moon are in different positions depending on where you are on the earth. If we could all see it at the same time that would mean we would all be in the same exact spot on the earth.
When a person experiences the third stage eclipse or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
Because the moon is small compared to the Earth, the shadow it casts isn't very large. The small size of the shadow and the rotation of the Earth mean that where you need to be to see a solar eclipse is very specific and changes from eclipse to eclipse. To see the next total solar eclipse, you'll have to travel to Northeastern Australia or North New Zealand on November 13, 2012. Good luck!
