not a total eclipse, a partial eclipse occurs.
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.
When the moon passes through the earth's penumbra there is a partial eclipse of the moon for those on the side of the earth facing the moon. If it passes through the umbra, the eclipse is total.
nearby areas that are in the penumbra experiences a partial eclipse. a partial eclipse also occurs when the umbra completely misses earth and only the penumbra passes over.
No, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through Earth's umbra, the central, darkest part of its shadow. During this event, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The penumbra is the outer part of the shadow, and while a lunar eclipse can occur when the Moon passes through the penumbra (resulting in a penumbral lunar eclipse), it does not cause the dramatic darkening seen in a total lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth's shadow.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
During a penumbral lunar eclipse, only the outer shadow of the Earth (the penumbra) falls on the Moon's surface. This causes a subtle shading or darkening of the Moon rather than a dramatic change in appearance. It is a more subtle and partial eclipse compared to a partial or total lunar eclipse.
Lunar eclipse: Earth makes the shadow; the moon passes through it.Earth's shadow is large enough to darken the shole moon at the same time.Solar eclipse: Moon makes the shadow; earth passes through it.Moon's shadow is not large enough to darken the whole earth at the same time ...it causes only a small dark spot, that moves along the surface as the earth turns.
More specifically, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the umbra, the darker part of the shadow.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth.
i believe an eclipse occurs :)
