- A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow on the Moon.
- It can only occur during a full moon, when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned in a straight line.
- During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon often looks red or orange because Earth’s atmosphere bends some sunlight onto it, creating a “blood moon” effect.
