Occurs when Earth’s shadow falls on the moon

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to watch a movie on your TV, but someone walks in front of the screen, blocking your view. This scenario is similar to a lunar eclipse, where the Earth gets between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow over the Moon. In this analogy, the TV screen represents the Moon, the person blocking the screen is Earth, and the light from the TV is the Sun's light that gets blocked, causing the 'eclipse' of your view.
