A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth crosses between the moon and the sun, which casts a shadow of Earth onto the moon.

Eclipses of the Moon happen at Full Moon when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned to form an exact or an almost straight line.

Shadow of the earth is divided into three parts:Umbra is the innermost and darkest part of the shadow and an observer experiences a total eclipse. Penumbra is the region in which only a portion of the light source is blocked by the body. Therefore, an observer experiences a partial eclipse. Antumbra is the lighter area of a shadow that appears beyond the umbra. An observer experiences an annular eclipse.

When the moon orbits Earth, it moves between the sun and Earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow on Earth.
