What happens when the moon passes through the earth's shadow?

When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes a lunar eclipse. This phenomenon occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. The moon appears to change color, usually turning a reddish hue due to the scattering of sunlight in Earth's atmosphere.


Why do the moon phrases change?

The changing phases of the moon are caused by its orbit around the Earth, which causes different portions of the moon to be lit by the sun as seen from Earth. As the moon orbits the Earth, the angle between the Earth, moon, and sun changes, resulting in the varying appearances of the moon's phases.


The different phases of the moon are caused by?

Actually it is not the rotation of the earth but the orbit of the moon around the earth that causes the phases of the moon. The moon's relationship in it's orbit with regard to the sun is what causes the phases to change. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is in a "new moon" phase because the only side of the moon that is lit with sunshine is the far side or the unseen side of the moon. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, the moon is at "full moon" phase. In between these two extremes gives us the 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter phases.
