Explanation:

A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth, sun and moon align in space, with Earth between the sun and moon. At such times, Earth's shadow falls on the full moon, darkening the moon's face and – at mid-eclipse – usually turning it a coppery red.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. ... A lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.

Answer:

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.
