When the moon passes through the earth's penumbra there is a partial eclipse of the moon for those on the side of the earth facing the moon. If it passes through the umbra, the eclipse is total.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earths?

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.
