There are three types of losses A total eclipse occurs when the entire moon enters the area of ​​the earth's shadow. In this case, the entire moon disc disappears, resulting in a complete loss of vision in the middle of the night. A partial eclipse occurs when a part of the moon enters the Earth's shadow region, in which case part of the moon disc disappears, and the shadow of the earth appears on the moon. It occurs when the moon enters the semi-shadow region only, in which case the moon's light becomes dim without decaying. The semi-shadow region is the area where some of the sun's rays are obscured by the moon, which means that the observer of the sun from the moon sees it partially obscured. This type is not classified as a legitimate eclipse. So in order for the total eclipse to occur, the former crustaceans must occur. At the beginning of the total eclipse, the moon's color tends to red because of the red rays that can not be absorbed from the top of the Earth's surface.
