Solar eclipse

The Sun shines on both the moon and the earth, right? You can perhaps imagine that every once in a while the moon gets between the earth and sun, and blocks the sun out for awhile. That would be a solar eclipse.

Lunar eclipse

It is also easy to imagine that sometimes the earth gets in the way of sunlight shining on the moon, and blocks the sun out for awhile. That would be a lunar eclipse.
