A lunar eclipse is an eclipse in which the moon appears darkened as it passes into the earth's shadow.

Answer:It happens when the Moon is exactly on the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun. The Moon then passes through the Earth's shadow

Explanation:Lunar eclipses occur when Earth's shadow blocks the sun's light, which otherwise reflects off the moon.
