What makes the light in an eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the light observed is primarily due to the Sun's corona, which is the outer atmosphere of the Sun that becomes visible when the Moon temporarily blocks the Sun's bright surface. The corona emits a faint light that can be seen as a halo around the darkened silhouette of the Moon. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon, and the light that reaches the Moon is refracted through Earth's atmosphere, giving it a reddish hue, often referred to as a "blood moon." These phenomena highlight the interplay of celestial bodies and the scattering of light in different atmospheric conditions.
