What is the eclipse of the moon?

Answer 1

An eclipse
When the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, it blocks out the Sun and we have a solar eclipse. (since the sun appears to be 'eclipsed').

When the Earth's shadow hits the Moon, the Moon goes dark and we have a lunar eclipse. (since the moon appears to be eclipsed).

For either kind, whether it is a partial or total eclipse depends on how precise the alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth are.

Also, phases of moon are caused by changes in the relative position of the moon, Earth and the sun. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlight side of the moon faces earth.

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the moon.

Lunar eclipses can be partial, total, or penumbral depending on how much of the moon is covered by Earth's shadow.
