What is the appearance of the moon during an lunar eclipse?

Answer 1

First of all, a lunar eclispe starts when a full moon moves into the shadow of a earth.

The sky is very dark, but you can still see the moon. The moon holds an orange or pinkish hue. Its hard to tell.

Answer 2

In a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and Moon, with the Earth casting a shadow on the moon. The moon continues to darken until it is completely blackened by the Earth's shadow, at which point the moon shines red.

Answer 3

An eclipse, is the term used to describe the period that we on earth, can observe the moon passing in front of the sun.

A total eclipse is when the moon covers the sun completely, it must be noted, that depending on your location on the earth at the time of the eclipse, the moon may not cover the sun completely, even if it passes directly in front of the sun, all that is needed for a total eclipse, is for the moon to apear bigger than the sun.

The light visable during a total eclipe is the corona.

Answer 4

Dark. I mean, what did you expect? There are tons of pictures of lunar eclipses online and a few moments of searching could provide you with a large number of pictures that would make its appearance far more evident than any amount of verbiage possibly could.

Answer 5

Sometimes dark gray, but sometimes ivory. It depends on how deeply into the umbra, or shadow to the Earth the Moon goes.

Often the Moon will turn deep red in an eclipse; the cause is the red rays of sunlight are refracted into the cone of shadow, causing the Moon to reflect the glow of all the sunsets and sunrises in the world at once.

Answer 6

As the earth eclipses the moon, the moon seems to take on a bloody red hue. This phenomena has inspired many stories and myths throughout history.

Answer 7

A lunar eclipse can only occur at Full Moon.

Answer 8

Apart from the moon, the rest of the planets look just like they always do.

Answer 9

You can't see it clearly. It just blocks out the Sun, so the Moon itself is just a large dark circle that we can't see any detail of, because the dark side is facing us.
