A Partial Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon. But during a partial eclipse, the three celestial bodies are not in a straight line. So a part of the Moon’s surface is covered by a shadow of the Earth, which is called the Umbra. When all the three celestial objects are in a line, it is a total lunar eclipse.
