Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the moon, and they can be seen from anywhere on the night side of Earth. In contrast, solar eclipses happen when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light during the daytime, and they can only be seen from specific areas on Earth where the shadow of the moon falls.

Answer 1

Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth gets right in between the sun and the moon, so the light from the sun can't reach the moon anymore. This makes the moon look dark and spooky! You can see it from anywhere on the night side of the Earth, like if you're outside at night with your friends or family.

Solar eclipses are a little different! They happen when the moon moves in front of the sun and blocks its light during the day. It makes everything go a bit dark, like someone turned off the lights! But you can only see a solar eclipse from certain places where the moon's shadow falls. So, it’s kinda special and you have to be in the right spot to watch it!
