There are three types of lunar eclipses, depending on the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon at the time of the event.

1. Full lunar eclipse: Earth’s shadow falls on the entire lunar surface.
2. Partial lunar eclipse: During a partial lunar eclipse, only a portion of the Moon enters Earth’s shadow, which may appear to “bite” the lunar surface. Earth’s shadow will appear dark on the Earth-facing side of the Moon. How much “bite” we see depends on how the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned, according to NASA.
3. Penumbral lunar eclipse: The weak outer part of the Earth’s shadow is thrown onto the lunar surface. This type of eclipse is not as dramatic as the other two and is difficult to see.
