There are two types of eclipses, lunar and solar. Lunar eclipses happen when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow. The Moon turns reddish-orangish, but does not block out all of the light, although the sky may get darker. With a Solar eclipse, the Earth passes into the Moon's shadow, but the Sun is aligned behind the Moon. This blocks out almost all of the light. You only see the silver outline of the Sun behind the moon, though. I hope this answers your question!
