In an eclipsed conformation the carbons are aligned so that the hydrogens are lined up with each other. This creates steric hindrance between them. In a staggered conformation the atoms are all equally spaced from each other.

These structures give the structure of a molecule when looked through the carbon backbone from front-back direction. The main difference between staggered conformation and eclipsed conformation is that staggered conformation has a lower potential energy whereas eclipsed conformation has the maximum potential energy
