Answer:
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, fully or partially obscuring the Sun's disk. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow, fully or partially darkening the lunar disk.
Explanation:
The difference between a total solar and a total lunar eclipse is this: In a solar eclipse, it is Earth that is caught in the umbra of the moon. In a lunar eclipse, it is the moon that is caught in the umbra of Earth.
What is an Eclipse?
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, bypassing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.
In a solar eclipse, It is Earth that is caught in the Umbra of the moon. In a lunar eclipse, it is the moon that is caught in the Umbra. So option B is correct.
