Yes. A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth's shadow falls on the moon.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through Earth's shadow.
It is called a solar eclipse when the Moon's shadow hits Earth, and a lunar eclipse when Earth's shadow hits the Moon.
The word "eclipse" means "in the shadows". In an eclipse of the sun, sun, moon and earth are all lined up, so that the moon's shadow falls on the Earth. In an eclipse of the moon, it is the shadow of the Earth that falls on the Moon.
When the moon is within the shadow of the Earth, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the shadow of the moon falls on the Earth's surface, a solar eclipse occurs.
When the moon is in earth's shadow, a lunar eclipse occurs. When the earth is in the moon's shadow, a solar eclipse occurs. The moon has no 'control' over either of these events.
eclipse
A lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In contrast, a solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
