The earth's shadow falls on the moon only during a lunar eclipse. Eclipses of the moon can have varying degrees of totality. The earth's penumbra (partial shadow) may pass over the moon, or the umbra (full shadow) may pass over some or all of the moon's surface. All of these happen only at the time of full moon. The moon's regular phases are NOT caused by earth's shadow on the moon, as is incorrectly believed by some.

The shadow of the Earth on the moon's surface is the reason that it takes different phases. When the Earth completely occludes the moon, it is a new moon, and when there is no shadow, it is a full moon.
