Explanation:

lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned, with Earth between the other two. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit.
