Why does the moon turn red during a lunar eclipse?

When a lunar eclipse occurs, the earth passes through the area between the sun and the moon. While passing through, the moon will glisten. This glistening happens because the moon is reflecting the light of the Sun. This light is darkened by Earth.

While we see the sun during the day, the admiration of it occurs at night. Once the shadow the of the Sun is taken over by the moon, a ring will appear around it. The ring is the reason for the moon glowing red and helps give it the name blood moon. Whenever a lunar eclipse occurs, it is almost certain that a red moon will also appear.

During a lunar eclipse, the earth passes directly between the sun and the moon. The moon glistens because it reflects the light of the sun to the part of the earth masked by darkness. Although you can still view the sun during the day, it is most admired at night.

When the earth blocks the sun, the light is not reflected from the surface of the moon, and once the shadow has wholly submerged the moon, you see a shining bright ring from around the planet. This ring is why the moon glows red, and such a moon is called a “blood moon.” The red moon almost always occurs during a lunar eclipse.
