A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the sun and moon so that the moon doesn't get light causing it to appear red-ish.
Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.

When you see a half moon, the position of the Sun is either directly to the right or left of the Moon as viewed from Earth. This is because a half moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90-degree angle, with the Sun illuminating half of the side facing Earth.
What type of patterns do eclipses form?

What is the distance form the earth's moon to the sun?
It's about a quarter million miles greater or less than the distance of the earth to the sun. That's because at times the moon is "between" the earth and the sun and is closer to the sun, and at other times the moon is on the "far side" of the earth from the sun. The distance to the sun from earth varies from about 147 million to 152 million kilometers. The moon is from about 363,000 to 405,000 kilometers from the earth. The distance from the earth to the moon isn't much when compared to the distance to our local star.
