Why is there a "red moon" phenomenon? How to explain this phenomenon?

The red moon represents the thick atmosphere, absorbing purple, blue, green and yellow light, leaving only red light to penetrate. The same is true of the red moon during the total lunar eclipse. The atmosphere refracts red light to the surface of the moon, so you can still see the red moon hanging in the sky.

This phenomenon usually occurs during the total lunar eclipse. In the process of total lunar eclipse, from "eclipse" to "birth", the moon will not disappear from sight, but presents a mysterious and elegant bronze color, so people call it "red moon".

Other moon changes

1, blue moon

"Blue Moon" is a folk saying, which means there are two full moons in a month. The second full moon was given a romantic name: "Blue Moon".

2. Super Moon

"Super Moon" is a common astronomical phenomenon, and its exact name in astronomy is near moon. Refers to the largest and roundest moon that the naked eye can see when the distance between the moon and the earth is closer than usual at the new moon or full moon. Because the orbit of the moon around the earth is a nonstandard ellipse, the distance between the moon and the earth is not constant.

As the distance between the moon and the earth changes, the size of the moon looks different. The "super moon" is larger than the ordinary moon 14%, and its visible area is 30% larger, so it is deeply loved by people. The time interval of "super moon" is about 14 lunar month (roughly equivalent to 14 lunar month), which is 4 13.4 days.

Step 3 be eclipsed

Eclipse is a special astronomical phenomenon, which refers to the astronomical phenomenon that when the moon, the earth and the sun form a straight line and the moon moves into the shadow of the earth, some or all of what could have been irradiated by sunlight cannot be irradiated by direct light, so that observers on the earth can see that the moon is missing or darkening.
