MCQ
Which of the following is not true about the total lunar eclipse?
  • A lunar eclipse can occur on a new moon and full moon day
  • B
    The lunar eclipse would occur roughly every month, if the orbits of earth and moon were perfectly coplanar
  • C
    The moon appears red during the eclipse because the blue light is absorbed in earth's atmosphere and red is transmitted
  • D
    A lunar eclipse can occur only on a full moon day

Answer

Correct option: A.
A lunar eclipse can occur on a new moon and full moon day
a
(a)

A lunar eclipse occurs only on a full moon day.

So, option $(a)$ is incorrect.
