If there is no red in the blue atmosphere
or in green light?
A total eclipse is an inner shadow.
Why is that not seen?
Somethings science has no answer
for.

The atmosphere isn't blue. It's transparent.

A shadow isn't a thing. It's an absence

Just because you don't have the answer doesn't mean science doesn't have
the answer. You could use Google to find science's answer but you are
too afraid the "Internet Bias" monster will bite your head off. So you
will remain dumb and stoopid. Your choice.

p.s. Why are sunsets often red?

All this was figured out by Lord Rayleigh circa 1871 and published in
the The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal
of Science.

You can either go to England and read the original papers or go on the
Internet, note that I said Internet, not wikipedia, and read a scanned
copy of his papers.

After reading the original papers, you can then go to Wikipedia and
verify the article on Rayleigh scattering agrees with the original
papers.

Only a big dummy would have to go to all that trouble. Smart folks
like myself can create a mind picture and see how the red light
is light reflected off the Earth and onto the Moon.

That's only for particles smaller than the wavelength of light/laser. For
comparable particles you need Raman scattering, because Trump is not your
president.

Raman lidar is used in atmospheric physics to measure the atmospheric
extinction coefficient and the water vapour vertical distribution.

Stimulated Raman transitions are also widely used for manipulating a
trapped ion's energy levels, and thus basis qubit states.

Raman spectroscopy can be used to determine the force constant and bond
length for molecules that do not have an infrared absorption spectrum.

Perhaps, but Rayleigh scattering is why sunrise, sunset, and an eclipse
are red.

Except that during a lunar eclipse, it is the dark side of the Earth that is facing the moon, so essentially zero light is being reflected towards the moon from the Earth. There is a much better explanation as to why the moon can become red during a lunar eclipse, and all you need to do is to ask your own favorite search engine to tell you "why is the moon sometimes red during a lunar eclipse". That would be much better than someone looking that up for you :>)

I can assure you, however, that Jim Pennino's explanation is exactly correct.

That zero light means a shadow would be with a total eclipse... not a red...

Who told you you are smart?
Where did you hear that?
At an eclipse there is no red light reflected
off the other side of the Earth toward the
Moon. In your picture where do you get
your light from? Can you explain how at
a total eclipse there is no shadow?

So where does the red come from if the dark side is facing the Moon?

If you were on the Moon during an eclipse, most of the Earth would be
dark and surrounded by a glowing red ring of the sunlight passing
through the Earth's atmosphere and being scattered by the Rayleigh
scattering.

Think real hard now; where does the red comes from?

Apparently, Jim, you are much like Mitch, seeing a how you are incapable of looking this up for yourself. The answer is easily found... just like it is easy to find the evidence that water vapor is a gas. Do you think I'm running a hand-holding service here?

Clearly, you don't know what he thinks. You have not been here long enough to understand that I'm just parroting back to McGinn what he always says to everyone else when he cannot support his own claims. It is one of his standard responses... and he has many others, often vulgar...

That explanation *is* also my explanation. You want me to just cut and paste it? This is high school freshman physics stuff. Go read the dang post.

The subtlety of Mitch's request is beyond you. You need to demonstrate that the appearance of red is not the result of the absence of things that are not red All you can do is to keep dropping links that confirm your confusion.

totally wrong. intentional misleading

Why Is the Sky Blue? Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is
scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air.
Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as
shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
