Its in the Earth shadow. It is not receiving sun
light. How does it get red?

Use your own hole...
Where does the red light come from if
there is no sun light? It is blocked.
So how can there be any?

Mitch, I have a mud fence out in back that knows more physics than you do.

Go look up "refraction" you ignoramus...

Because if the moon was green some dumbfuck would be asking why is the
moon green during an eclipse.

Learn to use Google, or look things up on wikipedia or something, you
dumbfuck.

He's not actually interested in the answers. He posts these things
because he thinks they show some fundamental flaw in physics.

Mitchell Raemsch flaunts his ignorance.

He's standing on a soapbox, with a megaphone,
proudly declaring: " I don't know shit, LOL ".

It is receiving sunlight from diffraction at the Earth's boundary. The direct sunlight is blocked but the edges of Earth is illuminated. It is from this boundary illumination that the Moon receives sunlight.

The diffracted sunlight is of low intensity. Only the low frequency of the red light makes it through the Earth's atmosphere to the Moon, making the Moon red. Higher frequencies are blocked, as they get more attenuation through the atmosphere.

The Earth shadow does not contain sun light.
So red doesn't arrive at the Moon.
SO why is the Moon red where it
should not be?

Yes, Mitch, red light *does* arrive at the moon during a lunar eclipse... which anyone can verify for themselves by watching the moon during an eclipse!

Look it up for yourself...

Every shadow contains sun light.

It does.

It is as red as it should be.
