A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon.

During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.

What is the difference between a solar and a lunar eclipse in points?

Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light from reaching Earth.

Solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon phase, while lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase. Solar eclipse can be total, partial, or annular depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Lunar eclipse can be total or partial depending on how much of the moon is covered by Earth's shadow.
