Solar - moons shadow falls on earth.Lunar - earths shadow falls on moon.
The moons of the big planets can go into eclipse when they are in the shadow of their planet.
This is not really a "why" sort of question.The moon has a shadow, because it's a solid opaque object.The moon's shadow sometimes falls on the Earth, because the Earth, Moon, and Sun are sometimes arranged so that that can happen.When that happens, we call it a solar eclipse. We could call it a mumblefrazz instead, and then I suppose you'd be asking why the moon's shadow was cast on Earth during a mumblefrazz.If the moon were smaller, or further away, its shadow would never fall on the earth (technically, its penumbra or anteumbra still would, but its umbra would not) and we'd never experience total mumblefrazzes.
These moons orbit close to planetary rings, and with their gravity, prevent the rings from dispersing, like shepherds.
A lunar eclipse is where the Moon is in the shadow of the planet earth. The equivalent happens in Jupiter's system constantly, since the planet is so large and the sun appears only as a tiny ball of light. Jupiter's moons will orbit the planet and will be in complete shadow for long periods of time as they go behind Jupiter on every orbit.
Solar Eclipse
Your question makes no sense.
When the Earth's shadow hits the Moon that is an eclipse of the Moon. When the Moons shadow hits the earth that is an eclipse of the Sun.
