what's the difference between a lunar and a solar eclipse
Lunar Eclipse vs Solar Eclipse. Lunar Eclipse occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon in such a way that it blocks the sunâs rays completely from reaching the moon. Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun in such a way that the sun is totally blocked from view. Lunar Eclipse only occurs on the full moon night which means that the moon is on the other side of the earth from the sun.
