For those inside the shadow, the sun's disk is fully blocked from view. Solar eclipses can occur only during a new moon, when the moon and the sun are on the same side of Earth.

When the shadow fully covers the moon, the eclipse is total. When the shadow partially covers the moon, the eclipse is partial. Lunar eclipses can occur only during a full moon, when the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of Earth.
