Be cause the moon is not as big as the sun. So only the size of the moon is shadowed on earth and where the sun peaks out from behind the moon it will be perfectly light.

Why doesnt the entire earth experience the eclipse?

Not the entire Earth experiences an eclipse because the alignment required for an eclipse—where the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun (solar eclipse) or the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon (lunar eclipse)—only occurs in specific regions. The shadow of the Moon or the Earth only covers a portion of the Earth's surface during these events. Additionally, the curvature of the Earth means that only those in the direct path of the shadow will see the eclipse, while others may see a partial eclipse or none at all.


What is the difference between a full lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon falls into the Earth's shadow. During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.

A lunar eclipse can be observed from anywhere on Earth that is in the shadow of the Earth when the eclipse occurs.

However, the visibility of the eclipse may vary depending on local weather conditions and the specific timing of the event.
