Answer 1

Answer:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth gets in the way of the sun and blocks sunlight from hitting the moon. This makes the moon have a reddish-orange tint to it. A full moon is visible during a lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse happens when the moon gets in between the sun and the Earth, forming a crown like ring around the moon, which is from the sun. The moon itself might not be visible, due to the angle at which it sun is hitting it at.
