Solar Eclipse

What is the difference between total and annular solar eclipse? I need to know to difference between a total solar eclipse, annular solar eclipse and partial solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse.

This is going to explain it better than any of us probably can. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_eclipse

The difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse is that in a solar eclipse the moon is between us and the sun and the moon is casting its shadow on the Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is in between the sun and the moon and the Earth casts a shadow on the moon.
