Which of the following properties of light causes eclipses?

None. Eclipses are a result of the moons position relative to the earth and the sun. Solar and lunar are 2 different types of eclipses. Simply put an eclipse is the result of light from the sun being blocked by the moon from our perspective here on Earth.


What role do shadows play in eclipses?

It provides the light seen around the Moon, in a solar eclipse. It provides the light the Earth blocks out, during a lunar eclipse. Light leaks around the Earth, in a lunar eclipse. Since Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters blue, the light reaching the Moon is red, almost a brick red when you look at the eclipsed Moon.


Why do eclipse occur?

Solar eclipses occur when the moon comes between the Earth and the Sun.


What causes solar eclips?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on the Earth, resulting in either a partial or total solar eclipse.


When you see a lunar eeclipse were does the reddish light come from?

it is from the sun and the moon coming in line with each other that is what causes an eclipse first of all but the sun is what causes that


What causes a solar eclipese?

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. This alignment causes the Moon to cast a shadow on Earth, creating partial or total darkness during the eclipse.


What happens when the moon blocks light from the earth?

When the moon blocks light from the Earth, it causes a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow falls on the moon, causing it to darken or appear reddish in color. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned in a specific way.

What causes the moon to apear a different colour during lunar eclipse?

The different colours that we see are the result of different lengths of light wave. During a lunar eclipse, as the celestial body causing the eclipse passes in front of the moon, its atmosphere causes what is called, "a refraction", or bending of the original lightwave. As this light is bent, its wavelength is, therefore, lengthened and alters according to the refractory 'power' of the phenomenon itself as it occurs, and the different wavelength of light reaching the earth emits a colour appearance that is now different from its original colour.
