A solar eclipse causes a shadow being cast over parts of the earth as the moon crosses the sun. Anyone standing inside the shadow area will see the sky darken, usually causing song birds to fall silent until the sunlight returns.

What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
