The lunar eclipse is created when the Earth passes between the moon and sun, and the shadow of the Earth obscures a portion of the moon.
The solar eclipse is created when the moon passes between the moon and the sun, all/a portion of the sun.

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.
