Lunar Eclipse Phenomena and Effects

The video tutorial discusses the upcoming lunar eclipse, explaining its types, the shadows involved, and why the moon appears red during a total eclipse. It provides a detailed timeline for observing the eclipse and highlights the importance of clear skies for optimal viewing. The phenomenon of the moon's red color is attributed to Earth's atmosphere refracting light.

Why is it important to have clear skies during a lunar eclipse?

• To prevent rain from falling

• To avoid clouds blocking the sun
