This is because moon faces the sun during lunar eclipse. So the side of the moon we see is lit up by the sun's light. So moon will be fully visible. This is why lunar eclipse happens at full 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.
