A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon.
A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us.
If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.
-- The difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse is which body enters the shadow
of which other one, and how many people are in places where they can see it happen.
-- The difference between a new moon and a full moon is 14.766 days on the average.
A solar eclipse occurs when the path of the moon comes between the sun and the earth. The moon casts a shadow on the earth's surface and an observer within that shadow would see a solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse happens when the Moon crosses in front of the Sun, while with a lunar eclipse the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon so the Moon goes dark. You can only see a solar eclipse in daytime, while you can only see a lunar eclipse at night-time.
Lunar eclipses happen at night when the earth gets in the light path of the sun to the moon (These are far more common.) Solar Eclipses happen during the day when the moon gets in the light path from the sun to earth. (Far less Common)
In a lunar eclipse the Earth is in the middle and blocks the Sun's light from the Moon, so that happens always at Full Moon but not every time. A solar eclipse has the Moon in the middle so it happens at New Moon, but not every time, and the Moon is not big enough to shadow the whole Earth so a solar eclipse is seen only in a strip across the Earth's surface.

about every 10-25 years

A solar eclipse ends when the moon's shadow no longer touches, or even points toward, any place on Earth.
a solar eclipse happens about every 6000 days, way more than a year.
The sun moon and earth are in a line during a solar eclipse. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun. So the moon is in between the sun and the earth. I know that and I am 12!

YES . THE NEXT TIME THERE IS A SOLOR ECLIPSE ALL ELECTRONICS ON EARTH WILL CRASH.!!!!! no! only solar winds/storms affect electronics
