The correct option is A Earth has come in between the Sun and the moon
A lunar eclipse occurs when the
Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow). This can occur
only when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so,
with the Earth in the middle. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only the night
of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's
location relative to its orbital nodes.
A total lunar eclipse has the
direct sunlight completely blocked by the earth's shadow. The only light seen
is refracted through the earth's shadow. This light looks red for the same
reason that the sunset looks red. Because of its reddish color, a total lunar eclipse is sometimes called
a blood moon.
