Both solar eclipses and lunar eclipses are shadows. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon darkens a small spot on the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth hits the Moon. Because the Earth is much larger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is much larger than the Moon's shadow, so in about half of the time, the Moon is completely shadowed. The small Moon shadow is rarely more than about 500 miles across on the Earth, so only a tiny part of the Earth experiences a solar eclipse.
