Why is the moon red?
The moon appears red during a lunar eclipse. When the Earth moves between the Moon and the Sun, it cuts off the Moon's light supply. When sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, the colors in the sunlight scatter. During a lunar eclipse, the red and orange light from the sun gets refracted through Earth's atmosphere to the moon which makes the moon look red. This phenomenon is called Rayleigh Scattering.
What is it when the moon appears to be red?

It is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere, composed of superheated plasma. The corona is usually invisible due to the overwhelming brightness of the Sun, but during a total solar eclipse, it becomes visible as a beautiful halo of red or white light.

Why is a lunar eclipse called a blood moon?

What is a different about a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is where the moon passes behind the Earth. It is only visual during the night when the moon can be seen. Hence, it will always be a full moon. The moon will have an orange-red color, due to the refraction from the sun. The next lunar eclipse will be in December 2010. A solar eclipse is where the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. During a partial solar eclipse, only parts of the sun are out of view from Earth, but during a total solar eclipse, the sun is fully blocked; however, solar eclipses are rare and can only be seen from certain places during certain times. The next solar eclipse will be in 2012.
