Some lunar eclipse can last up to 3 hour and 45 minutes.
Usually eclipses alternate from solar to lunar.
Three times a year is the maximum time a lunar eclipse usually occurs.
During a partial lunar eclipse only a portion of the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
When the Moon passes through the penumbral shadow of the Earth, a penumbral lunar eclipse has occurred.
The Danjon Scale has 5 points that range from 0 (Moon appears almost invisible) to 4 (very bright yellowish orange).
More people on Earth can view a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.
It is not dangerous to look directly at the Moon during a lunar eclipse because the Moon is not giving off its own light.
There are three types of lunar eclipse: partial, full, and penumbral.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth. During this type of eclipse the Moon appears to be a reddish color.
During the 21st century, there are 85 total lunar eclipses.
When the Earth's shadow sweeps across the lunar landscape, the temperature drops radically. In fact, the resulting "thermal shock" may cause lunar rocks to crumble and gas to escape from within the moon.
12. Normally, as the sun slowly sets on the moon, the drop in temperature is gradual. But if sunlight is shut off when the sun is high in the lunar sky, the drop is much more rapid – over a span of just 10 to 30 minutes.

The correct answer is b RNA polymerase is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix and for catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bond between nucleotides.
Explanation:
DNA double helix is unwound by the catalytic activity of helicase or dna B by using the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP.
RNA polymerase helps in the polymerization of nucleotides b the formation of phosphodiester linkage present in RNA.
