The process of a lunar eclipse

Usually, the moon reflects sunlight. This is why the moon shines at night, because it reflects sunlight.

There are two types of lunar eclipses. There are total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses:
• Total lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are exactly between the earth. Although the moon is only a shadow of the earth, some sunlight reaches the moon.

Sunlight reaches the moon through the Earth's atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere filters some blue light. this causes the moon to be red from the earth.

•Partial lunar eclipse
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a part of the moon is in the shadow of the earth.

In a partial lunar eclipse, the shadow of the earth looks very dark on the surface of the moon facing the earth.
