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, the shadow falls on Earth as the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching specific areas. This creates a temporary darkening of the sky and can be observed from the regions where the eclipse is visible.
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.
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on 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.
The umbra of the Earth's shadow during lunar eclipse is larger than the umbra of the Moon's shadow during a solar eclipse because the Earth is much larger than the Moon is; so, the Earth's shadow is bigger than the Moon's shadow.

No, when the moon's shadow falls on the earth, this is a solar eclipse. When the earth's shadow falls on the moon, it is a lunar eclipse.
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
When the moon casts its shadow on Earth, it creates a solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on the Earth's surface. This phenomenon can result in a partial or total eclipse, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and moon.
The dark shadow caused by the moon on Earth is called the umbra during a solar eclipse.
