Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon. Solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon phase, while lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon phase. Solar eclipse can be total, partial, or annular depending on the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth. Lunar eclipse can be total or partial depending on how much of the moon is covered by Earth's shadow.
