There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Of the lunar eclipses, about 40% are "total"; the remainder are partial or penumbral. A lunar eclipse is visible from one-half of the Earth's surface. So on average, and weather permitting, you will see a total lunar eclipse about every third year.
umm well a lunar eclipse is only visible at night hence the word lunar in it if you dont like this answer then make your own.
Oh, dude, that's a lunar eclipse! It's like when the moon is just chilling in the Earth's shadow, getting some shade from the sun. So, yeah, when Earth is like, "Hey moon, come over here and hang out in my shadow for a bit," that's a lunar eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon is in Earth's shadow. So it must be 'behind' the Earth, with the sun in front. To put it another way, they're lined up like this: Sun ................................................................................................................ Earth .. Moon
This is referring to a solar eclipse, where the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth by aligning directly between them. It creates a shadow on Earth, causing temporary darkness in the path of totality.
no it depends when the lunar eclipse happens and what the earth is like
A partial or total obscuring of the moon by the earth's shadow. Are you asking "If we are on the moon, what would a lunar eclipse be?" In that case, it would be something like what we call a solar eclipse, but it would be the earth obscuring the sun. I think it might more properly be called an occultation; the earth doesn't perfectly block the sun, it literally blots it out (in the case of a total lunar eclipse) for a while until it emerges from the other edge or limb of the earth.
During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. The Moon appears to turn a reddish color, known as a "blood moon," due to the Earth's atmosphere bending sunlight towards the Moon. This differs from other types of lunar eclipses, such as partial or penumbral eclipses, where only part of the Moon is obscured by the Earth's shadow.

During a total lunar eclipse some light is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and onto the moon's surface. Because the refracted light is red, the moon will appear red like blood.
No. not all eclipse's are like that there are Lunar eclipse's and much more.
The most recent total lunar eclipse visible in North America occurred on May 26, 2021.
In a lunar eclipse, you see the full Moon pass into the shadow of the Earth. Like anything going into the shadow, it becomes dark for a little while.
A new moon and a total lunar eclipse are similar in that they both involve the moon being in shadow. However, a new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, while a total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth is between the sun and the moon.
It would look like a solar eclipse - Earth would cover the Sun.
