During a lunar eclipse, the Sun-Earth-Moon form a perfect - or almost perfect - line, so that the light of the Sun shines on the Earth, and the Earth's shadow hits the Moon.
When we see "partial" or "penumbral" eclipses, that's when the alignment isn't quite close enough, so that the Moon is only partly in the Earth's shadow.

What is the correct order during a lunar eclipse?
The correct order during a lunar eclipse is penumbral phase, partial phase, and then total phase. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.
What occurs when earth is in a direct line between the sun and the moon?
A LUNAR Eclipse. This occurs at Full Moon. A lunar eclipse changes the moon's reflective light from 'bright white' to a dull 'grey/red' light. This is the Rayleigh effect. During a partial lunar eclipse, the curved shadow between light and dark is the shadow of the Earth upon the Moon.

How solar eclipse and lunar eclipse alike?
Solar eclipses and lunar eclipses both involve the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, creating a shadow on the Moon.
Describe the relative positions of Earth the sun and the moon during a solar eclipse and during a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon; the shadow of Earth darkens the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between Earth and the sun; the moon blocks the sun.

How would the moon and earth be during a solar and lunar eclipse?
In a complete line with the sun.
Where is the earth during a lunar eclipse?
In line with the sun and moon, and in the middle, and the moon is in Earth's shadow.
Is it daytime or nighttime during a Lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclispe eccurs once every 3 years. It is where the sun, the moon and earth all line up. A lunar eclipse is visible from the entire night half of the Earth.

What occurs when the sun moon and earth are in a line?
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.
Where did the first lunar eclipse come from?
Every Lunar Eclipse comes from the same place, when the sun, moon, and earth are lined up in a straight line. So the first Lunar Eclipse is no different from the others.
What is the phase of the moon during a lunar eclipse?
Well, during a lunar eclipse, which is a beautiful sight like the magic of painting a happy little tree, the phase of the Moon changes to a full Moon. You see, during this special time, the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon, making it glitter with a hint of reddish colors. So just like that happy mistake in your painting, the lunar eclipse reveals the stunning beauty of our world.
What website can you get an diagram of where the moon and sun are during a lunar and solar eclipse?
You can definitely get along without a website, and probably without a diagram. During either type of eclipse, the sun, moon, and earth are exactly lined up, in a straight line and in the same plane. For a solar eclipse, the moon is the one in the middle. For a lunar eclipse, the earth is the one in the middle.
