Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Moon must circle its parent planet in order to remain in orbit around it. If its orbital
plane is extremely close to the ecliptic, it may only experience a single lunar eclipse, but for
the majority of its orbit, it would appear to be partially in the sun and partially in the shadow.
Just like the Moon of Earth.
The correct statement would be that the Moon's shadow falls on Earth, and we get to see a solar eclipse; the Earth's shadow falling on the Moon results in a lunar eclipse. However, there are different types of solar and lunar eclipses.
