Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon enters the Earth's umbra, which is the darkest part of the Earth's shadow. The umbra is responsible for the reddish color that the Moon appears during a total lunar eclipse. The van Allen belts are radiation belts around the Earth, the equatorial plane is an imaginary line around the Earth's equator, and Saros is a period of about 223 synodic months (approximately 18 years 11⅓ days), which is used to predict eclipses.
