When the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in that order, a lunar eclipse occurs. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, causing the Moon to appear darkened or take on a reddish hue. This alignment typically happens during a full moon, when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.
If the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, a lunar eclipse occurs.During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks all of the Sun's light that would usually reflect off the Moon.
This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.
An eclipse occurs when one object in space is in the shadow of another. For example, in a solar eclipse, the Earth is in the shadow of the Moon. That is, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth and all three are lined up.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover the moon.

Earth, Moon, and Sun line up with both solar and lunar eclipses.

The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.
When the Sun, Moon and Earth are all lined up exactly, we have an eclipse. If the Earth is in the middle, it's a lunar eclipse. When the Moon is in the middle, it's a solar eclipse.

When the moon is in earth's shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the earth is in the moon's shadow, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon has no 'control' over either of these events.
