A lunar eclipse has no effect on the moon.

Every place on the moon is in darkness continuously for almost 15 days out of every 29.5 anyway.

The occurrence of a lunar eclipse simply adds a few hours to that total, one time, for the half of

the moon that happens to be illuminated at the time.

A lunar eclipse has no effect on the Moon at all.

Oh, OK, perhaps it has a TINY effect. Daytime on the Moon brings direct sunlight, and this heats up the lunar surface. Night on the Moon (days and nights on the Moon last about 15 days each) allows the surface to cool and radiate the heat back into space.

This cycle of heating and cooling, expansion and contraction, causes fractures and cracks to form in the rocks, creating dust. A lunar eclipse acts like one more day/night cycle from this perspective. So instead of having 13 day/night cycles per year, there are actually 15 day/night cycles per year.
