  1. A solar eclipse is described as the eclipse of the sun, i.e. in which sun is obscured by the moon. On the other hand, lunar eclipse implies the eclipse in which moon appears dim, as it passes into earth’s shadow.
  2. In the solar eclipse, the position of the three celestial bodies is sun, moon, and earth. Conversely, in the case of lunar eclipse, the position of these are the sun, earth, and moon.
  3. A solar eclipse occurs in every 18 months, i.e. 1.5 years. As against, the lunar eclipse which takes place twice a year.
  4. As solar eclipse is the sun’s eclipse, it occurs during day time. In contrast, the lunar eclipse occurs in the night, because it’s a moon’s eclipse.
  5. The solar eclipse happens in the new moon phase, but lunar eclipse occurs during the full moon.
  6. Solar eclipse lasts for 5-7 minutes, whereas lunar eclipse lasts for few years.
  7. A solar eclipse can be observed only in a small area, while lunar eclipse can be noticed in the comparatively larger area.
  8. If one sees solar eclipse directly, i.e. through naked eyes, then there is a risk of loss in visibility as it damages the retina. On the contrary, it is safe to see lunar eclipse through bare eyes.
