When I was little I always mistook the solar eclipse with lunar eclipse. Well, I've grown old and knew the difference. Solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, and the Moon fully or partially covers the Sun as viewed from a location on Earth. While the lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the sun, earth and moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. That's their difference. I really don't like science but I love to watch the beautiful view either lunar or solar eclipse. I always get excited when I heard something about this. I just wish I could see the lunar eclipse this year and see the moon displaying the splendid shades of coppery red.
