A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three celestial bodies do not form a straight line in space. When that happens, a small part of the Moon's surface is covered by the darkest, central part of the Earth's shadow, called the umbra.

Answer:

A partial lunar eclipse occurs when only a portion of the Moon enters Earth's umbra, while a total lunar eclipse occurs when the entire Moon enters the planet's umbra.

If the rate of melting and the rate of freezing were the same, we could say there is a dynamic equilibrium of the system, TRUE O

The answer should be TRUE because a dynamic equilibrium is a state of balance between continuing processes. Hope this helps (:
