More specifically, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the umbra, the darker part of the shadow.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
The moon darkens because it passes through Earths shadow.
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.

A lunar eclipse is when the earth passes between the sun and the moon. A partial eclipse is when the earth and the moon don't exactly line up. The edge of the earth blocks out only part of the moon. actually a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the earths shadow

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.

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.
