Types Of Lunar Eclipse
We all know about the lunar eclipse and what precautions we should take at that time, many people will also be familiar with it, but do you know what are the different types of lunar eclipses and what is the difference between them?
A lunar eclipse occurs when our Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, due to which the Sun's light does not reach the Moon, and at that time a lunar eclipse occurs, what is the position of the Moon behind the Earth, this is the type of lunar eclipse.┬а
Before understanding the types of lunar eclipses, you should understand that the moon revolves around the earth but it does not revolve only in a circle around it, that is, it revolves around the earth as well as above its orbit. It also happens below. This happens because the Moon is slightly inclined to the Earth's orbit making an angle of 5 degrees.
For this reason, it is tilted towards the earth and revolves around it. Because of this, when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, then the Moon is sometimes above the Earth's orbit, sometimes below, and sometimes in the middle. For this reason, three types of lunar eclipses are decided according to their position. Let us know about its type.

Total Lunar Eclipse
┬а
This is the situation when the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are all in the same straight line, due to which the Sun's light does not reach the Moon at all. In this situation, the Moon is completely covered in the shadow of the Earth. In such a situation, the light of the sun which reaches the earth is divided into many colors, but coming into our atmosphere, all the colors are absorbed and only the red color remains. That's why at that time we see the moon completely in red color.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
┬а
In this situation, the Moon is behind the Earth, but it is not directly behind it but slightly above or below its orbit. In this situation, the light of the Sun reaches the Moon after colliding with the surface of the Earth, but it touches only some part of it.
In this situation, some part of the moon is completely in the shadow area of the earth, where the sunlight does not reach at all, so that area appears red to us and the area on which the sunlight reflects from the surface of the earth reaches us. It looks like beige which is partially red. This situation is known as Partial lunar eclipse.
┬а
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
┬а
In this situation, the Moon is in such a position behind the Earth where it is completely in the shadow area of the Earth but the sunlight reflected from the Earth also falls on the entire Moon (Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Hindi). ). In such a situation, we do not see the actual color of the moon, but we see it dim or dull, that is, at this time we see the whole moon partially red. This situation is named a penumbral lunar eclipse.

Conclusion
┬а
There are three types of lunar eclipse such as total lunar eclipse, partial lunar eclipse, and penumbral lunar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is caused by the Moon's penumbral, while a penumbral lunar eclipse is caused by the Earth's penumbral. Talk to astrologers to know more about the type of lunar eclipse.
