What Is A Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is an eclipse in which the moon appears to be darkened as it passes into the shadow of the Earth. During the lunar eclipse, the earth comes between the Moon and the Sun, this blocks the sunlight that is provided by the sun to the moon.
Basically, there are 2 types of lunar eclipses:
- The first one is called a total lunar eclipse
- The second one is called the partial lunar eclipse
In some stages of the lunar eclipse, the moon can change its color and can look like a blood moon. This happens as the only remaining sunlight reaching the moon at that point is from around the edges of the Earth.
