A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon moves between Earth and the Sun while a lunar eclipse occurs when Earth casts a shadow on the Full Moon. If a planet comes between Earth and the Sun, and is visible as a black dot against the Sun, it is called a planet transit

When Earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, a lunar eclipse takes place. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts two shadows. One is called the umbra; the other is called the penumbra. An eclipse takes place when Earth or the moon passes through a shadow.
