A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through Earths?
A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon partly passes through the Earth's umbra. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon fully passes through the Earth's umbra. When the Moon only passes through the penumbra, there is only a subtle darkening of its surface. The umbra and the penumbra are parts of the Earth's shadow.

If the moon's umbra fails to reach Earth?
There are times that the umbra of the moon fails to reach the Earth. This is when the moon is at apogee. When this happens, observers witness an annular, or ring, eclipse. During anannular eclipse, observers in the umbra see a thin, bright ring around the moon.
When a solar eclipse does sunlight penetrate the umbra?
In a solar eclipse, no sunlight penetrates the umbra. This is because the umbra is basically the shadow of the Earth, so in this case, the Earth is receiving the sunlight from the Sun, while both the umbra and moon are in the dark.
