question 11 1 pts a totally eclipsed moon glows coppery red because the moons surface is made of iron ore which is red in color. red light is better able to pass completely through earths atmosphere and reach the moon. during a lunar eclipse the sun is cooler than normal, and its light is more red. red light is cooler than blue light.
During a lunar eclipse, sunlight has to pass through Earth's atmosphere to reach the moon. Shorter - wavelength light (like blue) is scattered more by the atmosphere, while longer - wavelength red light is less scattered and can pass through Earth's atmosphere and reach the moon, giving the eclipsed moon a coppery - red color.
