Explanation:

Solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) Lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan)

A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes in between the earth and the sun. A lunar eclipse happens when the earth passes in between the moon and the sun.

During a solar eclipse, the moon partially or fully hides the sun’s rays for a few minutes. During a lunar eclipse, the earth’s shade partially or fully hides the moon for a brief period of time.

Happens once in 18 months. Occurs two times in a year.

The three types of solar eclipses are total solar eclipse, partial solar eclipse, and annular solar eclipse. The three types of lunar eclipses are total lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse and a penumbral lunar eclipse.

Solar eclipse is seen from few places only. Lunar eclipses are spotted from many places.
