People have been fascinated by lunar (Moon) eclipses for ages. For a time during an eclipse, the full Moon seems to disappear as it changes color, darkens, and then reappears. Through time, people have had different ideas about what causes a lunar eclipse. Here are some ideas:
A: A near by planet passes between the Earth and the Moon
B: The sun passes between the Earth and the Moon
C: The Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth
D: The Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon
E: The clouds block out the Moon
F: A nearby planet's shadow falls on the Moon
G: The Moon's shadow falls on the Earth
H: The Moon turns to the dark side and then back to the light side.
Thinking about lunar eclipse only, not phases of the moon. Which answer do you agree with most? I am looking for the best explanations to get a prize this week. Look for evidence online and list your sites. Try to find sites that haven't been used before. ASK.COM or ANSWERS.COM are not valid sites! If you use these sites you will not be able to get into the prize box this week. Do not "copy and paste" into the comment section try to put the information into your own words. Disagreeing respectfully is always acceptable.
