The statement that best describes what happens during a lunar eclipse is:
A. Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon.
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. This alignment leads to the Moon temporarily disappearing from view or appearing dimly red or orange in color due to the sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere onto the lunar surface. The sequence of events during a lunar eclipse involves the Earth blocking the direct sunlight from reaching the Moon, resulting in the phenomenon observed from Earth.
