Answer:

A lunar eclipse is when the moon moves into the earth's shadow. A lunar eclipse is the opposite from a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are very close together and Earth between them. A lunar eclipse on a full Moon.

When the Earth moves between the sun and the moon, therefore blocking the sun's rays from striking the moon, it is called a lunar eclipse. This happens when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon are aligned closely with the Earth in the middle. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow can be seen on the moon's surface
