Sweetheart, the moon doesn't actually turn yellow just for funsies. It gets a golden hue because of the Earth's atmosphere scattering the shorter blue wavelengths of light, leaving the longer red and yellow wavelengths to make the moon appear yellow. So, there you have it - science at work.

Why does the moon turn yellow at night sometimes at around 8 o'clock?

The moon can appear yellow at night due to the scattering of light in the atmosphere. When the moon is lower in the sky, the light has to pass through more of the Earth's atmosphere, causing shorter wavelengths to scatter and longer wavelengths, such as yellow and orange, to reach our eyes. This effect is more prominent during sunsets and sunrises, giving the moon a yellow hue.


Why is the moon big and yellow in the night sky?
