GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the lunar surface a striking red over the course of a few hours. Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The umbral shadow is the “inner” shadow, which is the area where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. A penumbral lunar eclipse is subtle and very difficult to observe. A partial lunar eclipse is when a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth’s umbral shadow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lunar Eclipses occur when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth. They only occur during Full Moon when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun.
