The Moon and Sun are in the sky, and the Earth is right there underneath you like it always is.
It's hard to answer the question seriously without a diagram. I advise visiting the sites linked below, which answer the question far more thoroughly than we could hope to.
An eclipse. When the Earth is in the Moon's shadow, it's a solar eclipse; when the Moon is in the Earth's shadow, it's a lunar eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.
During a solar eclipse, the moon is in the "new moon" phase where it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth fully or partially.
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon is directly in between the Sun and the Earth; a solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow falling on the Earth.

During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.
During a solar eclipse the moon is in between the earth and the sun. The moon blocks light from the son, causing a solar eclipse. (This is during the new moon phase.)
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.
During the solar eclipse the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun.
During a solar eclipse, the moon is lined up directly in between the Sun and the Earth, blocking out the sun's light.
During a solar eclipse, the moon is in the "new moon" phase where it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth fully or partially.
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
The sun moon and earth are in a line during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun. So the moon is in between the sun and the earth. I know that and I am 12!
During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light from reaching Earth. This alignment causes the moon to cast a shadow on the Earth, leading to the eclipse.
