In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth. If you're on that spot on the Earth, then the Sun is blocked out as if by an enormous rocky cloud - which is exactly what's happening. If you're NEAR that spot on the Earth, then the sky may be somewhat or substantially darkened, as less sunlight is coming down. Further away, most people will notice little or no change.

β 12y agoDuring a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. The Moon appears red or coppery colored due to the Earth's atmosphere bending sunlight towards it. In contrast, during a solar eclipse, the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth and blocking the Sun's light, creating a temporary darkness in the areas where the eclipse is visible.
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
A Lunar Eclipse.
That is called a lunar eclipse.
Nothing happens to the temperature during a lunar eclipse. Nothing ishappening on Earth during a lunar eclipse. It's the moon that's goingthrough the Earth's shadow and becoming dimmer.(But I'll bet you the temperature on the moon sure changes when that happens.)
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover 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.
A total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth blocks out the moon entirely from the sun.
The lunar eclipse happens when the moon comes between the earth and the sun.
A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun. The Earth's shadow, cast by the Sun, passes over the Moon.A solar eclipse is when the Moon passes across the face of the Sun, as viewed from Earth, and the Sun casts a deep shadow over the Earth.
A Lunar Eclipse.
no it depends when the lunar eclipse happens and what the earth is like
An eclipse is a shadow. A solar eclipse is the Moon's shadow on the Earth, and a Lunar eclipse is the Earth's shadow on the Moon.
A Lunar Eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, while a solar eclipse happens when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon appears dimmer and takes on a reddish hue due to the Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight, while a solar eclipse darkens the sky as the Moon blocks the Sun's light, causing a temporary shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses are visible from anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth where the Moon is above the horizon, while solar eclipses are only visible within a narrow path on Earth's surface where the Moon's shadow falls.
This phenomenon is called a lunar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, blocking the sunlight and causing the Moon to appear darkened or reddish in color.
Then we see full moons. If the Earth passes PRECISELY between the Sun and the Moon, then we see a lunar eclipse.
When the Earth blocks the Moon from the Sun, it causes a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, temporarily blocking sunlight from reaching it. The Moon may appear reddish during a lunar eclipse due to some sunlight being refracted through Earth's atmosphere.
