What do you think?
Consider the difference between eclipses of the moon and sun. The light that illuminates the moon during a total lunar eclipse comes from the entire solar disc, but that light is bent by the atmosphere of the earth before it gets to the moon.
Most light you see coming from the sun during a solar eclipse comes from the outer edge of the sun, where the prominences are.
The totally ecliped full moon is reddish in color due to the solar prominences. true or false

I think it's false. I read somewhere that the reddish color is due to the Earth's athmosphere.
That is, the light does come from the sun but it's the Earth's atmosphere which lets the red part of the sun's light through.
At least, that's how I understood it.
