During a lunar eclipse, does the Moon enter the Earth’s shadow from the east or the west? Explain your answer.
Wouldn't it be the east because that's the same way the moon rises normally? So if it normally rises in the east it would do that again.. or would it be west because it normally rises in the east and it doesn't make a lunar eclipse?
