Question

during a lunar eclipse, the moon appears ______. options: transparent or invisible; brighter or whiter; darker or reddish; smaller or larger

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, blocking direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. However, some sunlight refracts through Earth's atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red/orange light to reach the Moon, making it appear darker or reddish (blood moon). Other options are incorrect: it's not transparent/invisible, not brighter/whiter (no direct light), and size doesn't change.

Answer:

C. Darker or reddish
