An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.
Solar eclipse occurs when an observer on Earth passes through the shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks occults the Sun. This can only happen when the suj, moon and earth are nearly aligned on a straight line in three dimensions syzygy during a new moon when the Moon is close to the ecliptic plane.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind earth and into its shadow.This can occur only when the sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned in syzygy, with Earth between the other two. A lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon
