During a Lunar Eclipse

Because the Earth's atmosphere REFRACTS the Sun's light - NOT REFLECTS. It's the same reason a sunset looks red.

Because the sun is glowing behind earth and that reflects off the earth to the moon.

Because of the sun is glowing behind the earth and the reflection is on the moon.
