Red light has the least energy of all the visible spectrum.
When the moon passes the oppersite side of earth to the sun (lunar eclipse) the earths atmosphere acts like a huge prism.
As we all remember from science at school when light enters a prism the red light bends more than the blue light. The red light is bent around the earth and goes on to light the moon. The blue light is bent a little but not enough to hit the moon.
The redness is caused by the light of sun shining through Earth's atmosphere. Partially it is due to the way light is scattered, meaning reddish light reaches the moon. We get similar effects at sunset. Also there is a lot of dirt and dust in the Earth's atmosphere, which affects the light.
?...perhaps it's because of the sun's rays causing the moon to appear red
The red you see is dust from the eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia
because of suns corona
"Earthlight"
Bending or refracting sunlight into the shadow causes the Moon to have this colour .
The Moon looks red during a Lunar Eclipse because of raw pigmenting of light during an eclipse, it's scattered off the light from the sun, so it just looks red to us.
You can breed a Lunar Eclipse dragon using the following combinations: Lunar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solstice, Equinox and Lunar Eclipse, Blue Moon and Lunar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse, Lunar Eclipse and Moon, and Lunar Eclipse and Sun.
what are advantages and disadvantage of solar an lunar eclipse
Normal, the only difference is the moon is red.
The Moon tends to look very red during a full lunar eclipse.
Everything on Earth looks the same as always during a lunar eclipse. But if it's night-time where you are during the eclipse, then the Full Moon is in your sky, and since it's in the Earth's shadow, it may be glowing a dull red, or it may be almost completely invisible.
In a lunar eclipse.

the moon turns red on a lunar eclipse
lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse, with its blood red color, was viewed as a bad omen by some primitive civilizations.
The moon will go orange/red during a lunar eclipse, as the earths atmosphere distores the light from the sun.
a red moon would mean there is a lunar eclipse.
A lunar eclipse does not occur when the sun is out. A lunar eclipse can only be seen at night.
Lunar system in the moon
It would still be a lunar eclipse just on the moon and everything would be red. If you are on earth and a Lunar or a Solar eclipse happens than you are actually light than you would be regularly. To find out how much you weigh you take your weight and divide it by 1.5. So a lunar eclipse is just the same a lunar eclipse.
No. An eclipse of the sun is called a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is an eclipse of the moon.
a red moon would mean there is a lunar eclipse.
