Difference between Solar and Lunar Eclipse

The first astronomical event of the year, Penumbral lunar eclipse, will happen on March 25. An eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when a massive object or spacecraft passes into the shadow of another body or passes between it and the viewer. A natural eclipse involves the sun, the moon, and the earth. Solar and lunar eclipses occur when the lights of the sun and moon are partially or completely obscured from the vision for a brief period.
