Why is the moon red sometimes

Question

Why is the moon red sometimes

Answer 1

You'll see it turn reddish or orangy when it's close to the horizon, and the reflected light of the moon has to traverse more of Earth's atmosphere.  When it's overhead, and the air is fairly clear, it's more white.

During a total Lunar eclipse, the moon will slip into Earth's shadow, and the sun light is refracted by the Earth's atmosphere - again, casting a reddish light on the moon, so it'll appear a deep blood-red.

It's a good time to tell ghost stories....

Answer 2

Dust gets in the way of the light of the moon causing it to look red
