A solar eclipse is when the moon itself is between you and the sun, blocking the sun from view.
A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, and the Earth's shadow blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon.
The Sun, Moon, and Earth are all aligned in both.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
On earth there are 2 eclipses, Lunar and Solar eclipses
It can cause lunar eclipses, and solar eclipses.

A lunar eclipse can only happen during the few hours before and after a Full Moon.
The Sun, Moon, and Earth are all aligned in both.
The "umbra" is the darkest central shadow; the "penumbra" is the lighter partial shadow. Since the Earth is much larger than the Moon, the Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow.The "umbra" of the Moon is only about 300 miles across at a maximum when it hits the Earth, which is why a solar eclipse (which is the Moon's shadow on the Earth) covers such a small area. The Earth's umbra during a lunar eclipse (the Earth's shadow on the Moon) more than covers the entire Moon.
During a total lunar eclipse, when the Moon is in Earth's umbral shadow, one will witness the Moon appearing red or orange in color. This phenomenon is often referred to as a "blood moon" due to the reddish hue caused by the scattering of sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.

An eclipse is a celestial event where one astronomical body passes through the shadow of another body, causing a temporary dimming or blocking of the light. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon blocks the Sun's light, while lunar eclipses occur when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon.
