Best Answer

Three things: 1. Some stars are of such a temperature that much of the energy is in the form of red light (we call these "M" stars); 2. Doppler effects of rapidly receding stars shift their light towards the red of the spectrum (hence, "red shift"); 3. obscuring dust, either in space or the atmosphere (happens every sundown).
