The moon can appear in different colors depending on atmospheric conditions and astronomical events. In this video, we talk about the Moon looking blue, orange, and red. The Moon can look blue if there is a lot of dust or smoke particles in the atmosphere. When the Moon is near the horizon, it can appear to have an orangish color. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon can look a dark reddish color.
