Why is the full moon not in the shadow of the earth?

Because the Sun, Earth and Moon are not directly aligned. When they are the Moon does indeed pass through the shadow of the Earth in what is called a lunar eclipse, an event that only happens during a full moon. However the Moon usually passes above or below the shadow of the Earth. This is also the reason why solar eclipses do not happen every month.

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.


Why do you need a full moon for a lunar eclipse?

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. A full moon is required for this alignment to happen because this is when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
