A solar eclipse happens when the moon blocks the sun from the earth, and a lunar eclipse when the earth blocks the sun from the moon. Because the apparent diameter (how big it looks) of the moon is about the same as the sun, the alignment of the earth, moon and sun have to be almost perfect for a solar eclipse to occur.
A solar eclipse is a special kind of new moon where the Moon blocks out the light of the Sun. A lunar eclipse is a special full moon where the Moon hides in the Earth's shadow for a time. Both kinds of eclipses are like super lunations in effect, triggering extremely transformative energies where they impact you.
