  1. An eclipse happens when one celestial body temporarily blocks the light from another. There are two main types of eclipses: solar and lunar. In a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth and blocking sunlight. In a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and causing it to darken.
