Is it true that a total lunar eclipse occur when the moon passes through earths prenumbra?
No, a total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through Earth's umbra, the central, darkest part of its shadow. During this event, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The penumbra is the outer part of the shadow, and while a lunar eclipse can occur when the Moon passes through the penumbra (resulting in a penumbral lunar eclipse), it does not cause the dramatic darkening seen in a total lunar eclipse.
