During a solar eclipse, the only part of the Sun that can be seen is its outer atmosphere, known as the corona. This is because the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright surface, allowing the fainter corona to be visible.

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.
