Full moon means the sun is on one side of the earth and the moon is on the other. Sometimes the moon passes through the shadow of the earth at the moment of full moon. If you are on the sunny side of the earth (daytime!), you can't see the eclipse; if you are on the dark side of the earth (night!), you can see it.

What happens during a penumbral lunar eclipse?
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.
How is a total lunar eclipse different from the others?
A full lunar eclipse is when super man takes out the sun with his fists and eats its remains
How long it takes for a lunar eclipse to happen?

Why does it have to be a full moon during a lunar eclipse?

When does the eclipse of the moon takes place?
An Eclipse of the moon occurs when the shadow of the earth's shadow fall on the moon
When does a eclipse happen?
A solar eclipse takes place when the moon moves directly between the sun and the earth. A lunar eclipse takes place when the earth is directly between the sun and the moon.
Is total solar eclipse visible at all spots on the earth?
In the case of a total lunar eclipse, there is no 'path of totality'. If the lunar eclipse is total, then the entire moon is entirely inside the Earth's shadow. Anybody who can see the moon at the time sees the same view of the eclipse. That means everybody on the night-time side of the Earth.
Which eclipse takes a longer time and why?
Neither a solar eclipse nor a lunar one necessarily lasts longer. But if you stay in one place and don't move while you're watching one, the lunar eclipse may last longer from your point of view. When the moon is in Earth's shadow, everybody on the night-side half of Earth can see that, until the moon leaves the shadow. But in order to see the sun blanked out, you must be within the narrow tip of the moon's shadow, which can sweep across the Earth's surface at 1,000 mph during a solar eclipse.
Why do lunar eclipse last longer than solar?
An eclipse is caused by shadows. A Solar eclipse is the moon's shadow on the Earth, while a lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the moon.The Earth is much larger than the Moon, so the Earth casts a bigger shadow, which lasts longer.In a solar eclipse, the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth; in a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. The Earth is much bigger and its shadow completely covers the Moon and quite a bit more. The Moon's shadow only completely blocks the Sun over a small bit of Earth's surface.
Why don't we see lunar and solar eclipse every month?
because it takes a while for the moon to come right im between the sun and earth in the solar eclipse.
How long does it take the earth to revolve around the sun during a lunar eclipse?
It takes the earth 365.23 days (rounded) to complete one revolution around the sun. That number is completely unrelated to anything the moon is doing, or any phenomenon being observed or experienced by people on earth.
What are 3 differences and between lunar and solar eclipses?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, while a solar eclipse happens when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon appears dimmer and takes on a reddish hue due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight, while a solar eclipse darkens the sky as the Moon blocks the Sun's light, causing a temporary shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses are visible from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth where the Moon is above the horizon, while solar eclipses are only visible within a narrow path on Earth's surface where the Moon's shadow falls.
