The colour of the moon will take on an orange/red colour, due to the earth distorting the light from the sun.
The moon's yellowish color can be influenced by Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight as it passes through, similar to a sunset. The sun appears brighter and a different color due to being a powerful light source emitting its own light.
The phase of the moon that culminates at sunset is the full moon. During this phase, the moon is directly opposite the sun, rising in the east as the sun sets in the west, which means it will be at its highest point in the sky around midnight. Consequently, at sunset, the full moon appears on the horizon, marking its ascent for the night.
The New crescent Moon can be seen right after sunset. It typically does not take long for it to appear.
Yes, the moon can sometimes be visible before sunset and after sunrise. This is particularly true during certain phases of the lunar cycle when the moon is closer to the horizon and the sky is still partially lit by the sun.
The full moon will appear in the eastern sky at sunset, as the sun is setting in the west. The moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, and it reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight.
Sunlight that passes through the Earth's atmosphere gets filtered by a process officially known as Rayleigh scattering; that is why the sky is blue, and the sunset is red. If some of that red light from the sunset reaches the moon, then the moon will also take on a reddish color.
What is the phase of the moon when the sunset is near the horizon?
Both full moon and new moon can be seen at the sunset. But full moon in the east and new moon in the west just after the full sunset.
The blue sky turns from blue to sunset colors when the sun is lower in the sky during sunset. This change in color is due to the scattering of sunlight by particles and gases in the atmosphere, causing shorter blue wavelengths to scatter and longer red wavelengths to dominate the sky's color.
