What is the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse?
Question:
Answer:
solar=sun
lunar=moon
Solar is the sun; Lunar is the moon. They both can have eclipses.
One has the moon passing in front of the sun and the other has the earth casting a shadow on the moon.
In a solar eclipse, the moon moves between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun.
In a lunar eclipse, the moon moves into the earth's shadow, so the earth blocks the sun from shining on the moon.
During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the Sun and casts a shadow on the surface of the Earth.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the moon and casts a shadow on the surface of the moon.
