What is a total lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse is a type of lunar eclipse. When the moon, the earth, and the sun are completely in a straight line, with the earth in the middle, the entire moon goes into the earth's shadow, and the surface of the moon turns dark red, forming a total lunar eclipse. From a global perspective, a lunar eclipse does not occur every year (for example, there was no lunar eclipse in 1980), and not every lunar eclipse is a total lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse (not necessarily a total solar eclipse) occurs every year. There are an average of 236.7 solar eclipses and 154.2 lunar eclipses in 100 years. In a year, there can be 2-5 solar eclipses, no more than 3 lunar eclipses, and the minimum is 0.
