Why It Is Called As 'Thunder Moon Eclipse'
The reason why the lunar eclipse occurring on 5 July 2020 is being referred to as the Thunder Eclipse is because of the fact that July experiences thunderstorms and rainfall. According to the Maine Farmer Almanac published in the 1930s, there are different Indian names for all the full moon appearing in a year.

What Is Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Before
we
tell
you
about
what
a
Penumbral
Lunar
Eclipse
is,
let
us
tell
you
there
are
three
different
kinds
of
lunar
eclipses.
They
are
a
total,
partial
and
penumbral
lunar
eclipse.
A
total
lunar
eclipse
occurs
when
the
Earth
comes
in
between
the
Sun
and
Moon.
The
Earth
blocks
all
the
rays
from
the
Sun
and
thus
casts
a
dark
shadow
on
the
entire
surface
of
the
Moon
visible
from
Earth.
