Describe the circumstances that cause a lunar eclipse to occur. What causes the moon to appear an orangish red during a total lu

Elodia [21]

A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. Because of this, a lunar eclipse can only happen on the night of a full moon.

The moon gives off a reddish appearance during this time because the only light reaching the moon and reflected off of its surface is the light refracted by the Earth's atmosphere (the same reason a sunrise/sunset appears reddish).

A totally eclipsed full moon is also known as a Blood Moon because of it's colour

The heat from the bonfire is transferred to the student's hands through the process of

Akimi4 [234]

The heat from the bonfire is transferred to the student's hands mainly, but not exclusively, through the process of RADIATION.

There are three mechanisms or processes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and ratiation.

Conduction is carreid out by contact; it requires that the two objects are touching each other. This is not the case.

Convection is the heat transferred by the movement of the fluids (liquids ang gases). In some extent this happens in this case, but it is not the dominant effect becasue air is not a very good conductor. Specially if there is not much air movement (wind).

Thermal radiation is carried out by electromagnetic waves. When there is a source of intense heat, like the fire, the heat is propagated by radiation.

Then really, the heat from the bonfire gets to the student's hands by convection and radiation, but as fire is very intense (its temperature is very high), and as long as the air is calmed, the dominant process is radiation. If there is wind, convection starts to be important.
