A lunar eclipse is an event in which sunlight does not all reach the Moon because it is blocked by the Earth. A lunar eclipse occurs due to the dynamic movement of the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. The lunar eclipse phenomenon only occurs during the full moon phase and can be predicted in advance. Meanwhile, a total lunar eclipse is a position in which the Moon, Sun, and Earth are in a straight line.
