Answer:

the earth is directly between the sun and the moon

Step-by-step explanation:

During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon and cuts off the Moon's light supply. When this happens, the surface of the Moon takes on a reddish glow instead of going completely dark.
