During a tota lunar eclipse the Moon is in the Earth;s SHADOW.
In a straight line in space, it is The SUN, the Earth, & the Moon.
In a total solar eclipse, the straight line is The Sun, The Moon , & the Earth.
Notice in the straight line , the Earth & the Moon 'swop' places.

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon is in the Earth's shadow. This happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, with the Earth blocking the sun's rays from reaching the moon, causing the moon to appear reddish in color due to light filtering through the Earth's atmosphere.

No, they see night-time. You can see a lunar eclipse (from anywhere) when the MOON is in the earth's umbra.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow on the Moon is round, as the Earth blocks the sunlight from reaching the Moon. The shadow appears to move across the face of the Moon during the eclipse, creating a partial or total eclipse depending on the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow causing the moon to darken and take on a reddish tinge. A total lunar eclipse can last up to two hours.
A partial lunar eclipse is the most common type of eclipse seen as it occurs more frequently than total lunar eclipses. During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow, creating a shaded effect.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon travels through the Earth's shadow. This can result in a partial or total eclipse, depending on the alignment of the Earth, sun, and moon. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon appears to turn a reddish hue due to sunlight bending through Earth's atmosphere.

More specifically, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the umbra, the darker part of the shadow.

The moon remains partly visible during a lunar eclipse because light is refracted round the earth by its atmosphere. A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes through earths shadow. A partial eclipse,is when only part of the moon is in earths shadow.Then the moon might look like something took a bite out of it.Unlike a partial eclipse,a total luna eclipse occurs whe the whole moon is in the earths shadow.The moon does not disappear during a lunar eclipse.Earths atmosphere bends and scatters some sunlight,allowing some of the suns rays to reach the moon.Lunar eclipses happen several times a year.
People observe a total lunar eclipse more often than a total solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse is visible from a much larger geographical area. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the moon, resulting in a visible red hue on the moon during totality. On the other hand, a total solar eclipse is only visible along a narrow path on Earth, where the moon completely blocks the sun, creating a temporary darkness during the day.
a total lunar eclipse can be seen anywhere on earth where the moon is visible so you are more likely to see a total lunar eclipse than a total solar eclipse
A solar eclipse doesn't occur every 28 days because the moon's orbit is tilted compared to the earths.
A total lunar eclipse can occur during a full moon phase. During this phenomenon, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon and creating the eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the Earth's shadow causing the moon to darken and take on a reddish tinge. A total lunar eclipse can last up to two hours.
I would rather experience A Moon Total Lunar Eclipse

The shadow is cast by the earth upon the moon.
