Step-by-step explanation:

Eclipse happens when a large object gets in the way of another object; casting its shadow over it.

Solar eclipse happens when the moon get in between the sun and earth. It blocks sun light and causes its shadow over the sun as seen from earth.

Lunar eclipse happens when the earth is in between the sun and moon. It blocks sun light from reflecting off the moon surface so there is a shadow on the moon as seen from earth.
