What is the difference between a total lunar eclipse and partial lunar eclipse?
No such thing as a "partial total eclipse", sorry. Did you mean "partial lunar eclipse"? In a total lunar eclipse, the Moon goes completely into the umbra, or total shadow, of the Earth. Except for some red sunlight that passes through the Earth's atmosphere and is bent into the dark area, the Moon becomes completely dark. The remaining red glow is all of the sunrises and sunsets all the way around the world, at once. In a partial lunar eclipse, the Moon isn't quite precisely aligned with the Sun and Earth, and only part of the Moon goes into the umbra. The rest of the Moon is still sunlit. The sunlit area isn't COMPLETELY bright; it is in the "penumbra", where part of the Sun's light is blocked by the Earth. But we generally can't tell the difference between total sunlight and partial sunlight on the Moon without special instruments.

What does Eclipse mean in science?
An eclipse is the word used to describe an astronomical phenomenon in which the Sun, Earth and Moon happen to line up sufficiently for the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon (a lunar eclipse) or the Moon's shadow to fall on the Earth (a solar eclipse). A lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth at once - the dark half. A solar eclipse has a more limited viewing area because the Moon is relatively small. Therefore although lunar and solar eclipses are equally frequent, it appears to anyone in a fixed geographical position that lunar eclipses are more frequent.
