Explain the concept of a penumbral Lunar Eclipse.

• A penumbral lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes through the Earth's penumbral shadow, resulting in a faint darkening of the lunar surface.

• A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra, resulting in a total darkening of the lunar surface.

• A penumbral lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes through the Earth's antumbra, causing a partial darkening of the lunar surface.

Why does the Moon appear red during a total Lunar Eclipse?
