Is this how Earth looked..?

-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
I can fly...! say: Looks more like an eclipse to me.
-
Jim say: No.

It would look like a much thinner red ring.
-
YKhan say: Are you talking about how the Earth will have looked from the Moon? The answer is no, the Earth is so much bigger than the Moon that it will have completely blocked out the Sun from the same distance as we see the Moon.
-
Ronald 7 say: I can not see why not
Although Dear knows what the Flat Earthers Saw ?
-
PhotonX say: No. For one thing, that's not Earth in your picture, it's a picture of Moon and Sun during a solar eclipse. But even if you could stand on the Moon and watch Earth pass in front of the Sun, it wouldn't look anything like that. Earth doesn't have a corona.

Brilliant "Skippy" Answer say: There are two parts to a shadow, an umbra and a penumbra. The penumbra is the part in total shadow, and what would be a total ecliipse. That last solar eclipse on the Moon was in fact a total eclipse, last Sunday January 20, 2019, with the whole Nearside and the tiny surroundings of the Farside seeing totality. so yes, you would have observed the corona of the Sun
-
Zardoz say: You'd see a thinner ring, maybe a quarter or less wide, of red glow without rays. But it's close.

More like this Pluto-solar eclipse, but red.
-
quantumclaustrophobe say: Well, I think that's a filtered solar eclipse, but... maybe similar - although I doubt the atmosphere of the Earth would look so 'pointy'...
-
Raymond say: No.
This is a picture of a Solar eclipse, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun, as seen from Earth.

1) The apparent size of the Moon is very close to the apparent size of the Sun; that is why we see the corona and the flares in the Sun's atmosphere.
2) The Moon has no atmosphere, that is why the cutoff is so sharp between the black of the Moon and the light from the corona and the flares.

During a Lunar eclipse, an observer on the Moon would see a much bigger Earth block off the light from the Sun. No flares, no corona.
2) However, Earth has an atmosphere, and this atmosphere refracts the light of the Sun; that is why we see red sunsets and why, in practice, we see sunsets many minutes after the prediction of the basic equations (i.e., before we correct for air refraction).

An observer on the Moon would see a much larger dark circle, surrounded by a very bright ring of red light: the light of all the sunrises/sunsets on Earth.

Ghost Of Christmas Past say: There - the nutters told you it was a disk.
-
AdamTheAtheist say: No. That's a Solar eclipse.
