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.

Where on earth can a lunar eclipse are observed?
A lunar eclipse can be observed from anywhere on Earth that is in the shadow of the Earth when the eclipse occurs. This typically includes the entire nighttime side of the planet, as the Earth casts a shadow that can be seen from multiple locations. However, the visibility of the eclipse may vary depending on local weather conditions and the specific timing of the event.
What is a tidal eclipse?
"Tidal Eclispe" is the name of a music group. If you're talking about a total eclipse, it is either a solar eclipse during which the entire sun is blocked by the moon, or a lunar eclipse in which the entire moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
Why does Earth's shadow often covers the entire Moon during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon. The Earth's shadow has two parts: the outer penumbra and the inner umbra. When the Moon passes through the umbra, it is completely covered by Earth's shadow, leading to a total lunar eclipse.
What do you have when earth moves into the Moon's shadow?
When Earth moves into the Moon's shadow, we experience a lunar eclipse. This occurs when Earth blocks the sunlight reaching the Moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface.
Why does a lunar shadow never cover the earth completely?
A lunar shadow never covers the Earth completely during a lunar eclipse because the moon is much smaller in size compared to the Earth. Since the moon's shadow is cast onto a portion of the Earth, not the entire planet, it cannot cover the entire Earth at once.
What experience do you get when the sun earth and moon alignes?
Eclipse....
When the the moon is directly between the earth and the sun you experience a?
Solar eclipse
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.

What would a person in the moon see when there is an eclipse of the moon?
During a lunar eclipse, a resident of the Moon would experience a solar eclipse; the Sun would be hidden behind the Earth.
Why does a lunar shadow never cover the earth completely?
A lunar shadow never covers the Earth completely during a lunar eclipse because the moon is much smaller in size compared to the Earth. Since the moon's shadow is cast onto a portion of the Earth, not the entire planet, it cannot cover the entire Earth at once.
Is lunar eclipse longer than solar eclipse?
Yes. The Earth is much larger than the Moon, so the shadow of the Earth is larger than the shadow of the Moon. And a solar eclipse happens here on the Earth, as the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth; at most, an observer at one spot on the Earth will experience an eclipse that lasts 7 minutes, 30 seconds. (If you could travel across the Earth while remaining in the shadow, like NASA's C141 transport with the large telescope, you could experience a couple of HOURS of eclipse.) For an observer here on Earth, the lunar eclipse happens ON THE MOON, so we can see the whole thing, up to about 90 minutes in duration.
Where is a person standing if they experience a lunar eclipse?
To experience a lunar eclipse, a person is standing on Earth's surface near where it points toward the full moon. Directly behind the person, on the very opposite side of Earth is where the Sun is shining (and trying to light up the Moon). That places Earth in a position where it shades the Moon from the Sun's rays. As the Earth and Moon rotate and orbit, the eclipse soon is over.
