Know important things about lunar eclipse,including Sutak period
what is lunar eclipse?
A Lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth’s shadow.This can occur only when the Sun,Earths,and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned with Earth between the other two ,which can happen only on the night of a full moon when the Moon is near either lunar node.The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon’s proximity to the lunar node.
Types of lunar eclipse
There are main three different types of lunar eclipse
Total lunar eclipse
The Moon moves into the inner part of Earth’s shadow, or the umbra. Some of the sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere reaches the Moon’s surface, lighting it dimly. Colors with shorter wavelengths ― the blues and violets ― scatter more easily than colors with longer wavelengths, like red and orange. Because these longer wavelengths make it through Earth’s atmosphere, and the shorter wavelengths have scattered away, the Moon appears orangish or reddish during a lunar eclipse. The more dust or clouds in Earth’s atmosphere during the eclipse, the redder the Moon appears.
Partial lunar eclipse
An imperfect alignment of Sun, Earth and Moon results in the Moon passing through only part of Earth’s umbra. The shadow grows and then recedes without ever entirely covering the Moon.
Penumbral eclipse
If you don’t know this one is happening, you might miss it. The Moon travels through Earth’s penumbra, or the faint outer part of its shadow. The Moon dims so slightly that it can be difficult to notice.
