Why does the moon look orange in an eclipse?
During a total lunar eclipse the only sunlight to reach the moon is the light refracted through Earth's atmosphere, which is predominantly red and orange light.
Why does the moon turn yellow?
From the Earth's atmosphere. Usually in the fall the moon tends to be more yellow or orange because of all the crop harvestings.
Why do moon change its color?
The optical illusion of the moon changing color is due to the angle through the atmosphere that the moon is viewed at. If there is pollution in the air and the moon is at a low angle, then it will appear orange, brown, or red.
If the moons atmosphere were similar to the earths stars near moon would appear what color?
The Moon reflects all the light given off. The Sun appears to be red because of its temperature.
Why does the moon sometimes go yellow?
This effect is caused by the atmosphere of the earth. The reason for the orange colour is due to the scattering of light by the atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead. By the time the moonlight reaches your eyes, the blue, green, and purple pieces of visible light have been scattered away by air molecules. That's why you only see yellow, orange, or red. When the moon rises higher, it appears its usual grey.
