The Moon turns on what?

Because it is so close to the Earth the atmosphere messes with the color.Answer:"Blood-red" moons happen during "lunar eclipses." And while the first answer is correct in its simplicity, as to why the moon turns red... a little more detailed answer might be: "...as earth blocks out the sun's rays, the sunlight bends around the edge of the earth, and this light is reflected onto the moon. The moon's reddish tint comes from the indirect rays of light being filtered through our atmosphere the visual effect that makes sunsets that striking coral color. Our atmosphere acts like a filter, removing most of the blue-colored light, while leaving the red and orange light displayed on the moon's surface."


Movement of earth in space?

Spinning on its axis, or rotating, is one of earth's movements and it gives us the experience of day and night. The earth also revolves around the sun (in its orbit) and this gives us the seasons [by way of the axial tilt] and years. These are two of several different movements that earth makes.
