Detailed explanation-1: -The reverse phenomenon when the earth comes in between the sun and the moon casting the earth’s shadow on the moon is called the lunar eclipse.

Detailed explanation-2: -During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight falling on the Moon.
