Solar eclipses
Only by observing from within the cone-shaped umbra of the Moon's shadow can we see the Sun's disc completely obscured. ... Although a solar eclipse of some kind occurs somewhere on Earth at least twice each year, in only some of these events does the Moon completely cover the Sun.
Lunar eclipses occur when Earth's shadow blocks the sun's light, which otherwise reflects off the moon. There are three types — total, partial and penumbral — with the most dramatic being a total lunar eclipse, in which Earth's shadow completely covers the moon.
