Question

What is a solar eclipse? How is this related to a lunar eclipse?

Answer 1

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.....

Answer 2

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow obscures the moon or a portion of it. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun. An eclipse can be total, partial, or annular.
