In a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
A lunar eclipse is when the shadow of the earth passes over the moon, and a solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
Earth has it, moon doesn't.
During a solar eclipse the Moon come between the Sun and Earth casting a shadow on the Earth. During a lunar eclipse the Earth blocks the sunlight from illuminating the Moon.A lunar eclipse is when the earth moves between the moon and the sun to make a shadow on the moon, a solar eclipse is where the moon gets between the earth and the sun and causes a shadow on the earth.
A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.
The difference is that the earth has one and the moon doesn't.
The Earth is bigger in size. The Earth is a planet. The Moon has no plants. The Moon has less gravity.
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
Earth's gravity is six times greater than the moon's.
Earth is a Planet. Moon is a satalite. Sun is a meduim sized star.

In a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.
The weight of an object on the moon's surface is 16.3% of the same object's weight on the earth's surface.
A lunar eclipse is when the shadow of the earth passes over the moon, and a solar eclipse is when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
the difference between the gravitational pull on th eearth and moon is 1/6th. The gravitational pull on the earth is 6 times more than the garvitational pull of the moon. If some one weighs 36 kgs on earth then the weight on moon will be 6 kgs.
Earth has it, moon doesn't.
