Question

During a total lunar eclipse, an observer on Earth would see

• A.
  no change in the Moon's brightness.
• B.
  the Moon turning into red color.
• C.
  a first quarter Moon.
• D.
  a new Moon.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

the Moon turning into red color.
When the Earth falls between the Sun and the Moon and covers the Moon with its shadow, a complete lunar eclipse takes place. Sometimes a complete lunar eclipse is called Blood Moon because the Moon may look red. The Moon is illuminated by the light that reaches it after being refracted from the Earth's atmosphere.
