When Moon passes into the shadow of the Earth, as Sun Earth and Moon come into an alignment, the lunar eclipse occurs. A total lunar eclipse happens when the entire Moon falls with the shadow of the Umbra on the earth. It occurs when the Moon and Sun are stationed on opposite sides of the Earth, and the planet completely overshadows its natural satellite.

The Moon gets completely blocked by the Earth's Umbra during a total eclipse of the Moon., The penumbra is where the sun is partially covered by the earth, whereas the umbra is where Sun is completely hidden. During the process of the eclipse, most wavelengths from the Sun are filtered out and hence only red and orange wavelengths from his spectrum reach us. Hence, Moon looks like a reddish-hued disk.
