The sun produces its own light when it transforms hydrogen into helium.
The moon gets its light from the sun. It doesn't produce light. The brightness that we see on the moon is a reflection of the sunlight.
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.
When the moon blocks the sun's light to the earth, it is a solar eclipse. This occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth, casting a shadow on the earth and temporarily blocking the sun's light.
Eclipse
The sun provides about 400,000 times more light than the full moon. This vast difference in brightness is due to the sun being a powerful star that emits its own light, while the moon only reflects light from the sun.
When the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light (from the perspective of earth). A lunar eclipse is when the earth blocks light from getting to the moon, and can cause the moon to temporarily change color because of the effect on earth's atmosphere on the light that does get to it.
The sun produces its own light when it transforms hydrogen into helium. The moon gets its light from the sun. It doesn't produce light. The brightness that we see on the moon is a reflection of the sunlight.
The moon in no way produces light. It reflects light from the sun.
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's light from Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks the sun's light from the moon.
A solar eclipse is when the moon blocks the sun's light from Earth. A Lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks the sun's light from the moon.
In a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it appear dark in the sky. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth.
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.
When the moon is directly between the earth and the sun, it's a solar eclipse, because the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching the earth.
Earth is a Planet. Moon is a satalite. Sun is a meduim sized star.

A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.
