Understanding Solar and Lunar Eclipses

The video explains the differences between solar and lunar eclipses. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon's shadow falls on the Earth, while a lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. The video also provides tips to remember the order of celestial bodies during each type of eclipse and explains why eclipses do not occur every month due to the moon's tilted orbit.
