If the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, a lunar eclipse occurs.During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks all of the Sun's light that would usually reflect off the Moon.
This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.
Eclipses occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align in such a way that the light from the sun is blocked or partially blocked from reaching the Earth. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, blocking the sun's light. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover the moon.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Lunar eclipses can only occur during a full moon.
a Lunar Eclipses
Earth, Moon, and Sun line up with both solar and lunar eclipses.

The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.

When the Sun, Moon and Earth are all lined up exactly, we have an eclipse. If the Earth is in the middle, it's a lunar eclipse. When the Moon is in the middle, it's a solar eclipse.

When the moon is in earth's shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the earth is in the moon's shadow, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon has no 'control' over either of these events.
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in such a way that the full moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it creates a lunar eclipse.
