An eclipse takes place when one object in space blocks another from view. There are two types of eclipses: Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse.
During a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between Earth and the Sun, blocking the sun from view for a brief period of time. This is because Moon blocks prevent the sunlight from reaching Earth.

During a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth, and the Moon line up. Earth is in the middle, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus Moon is in Earth’s shadow.
