Why is the Mid-Autumn Moon bigger and redder?

Mid-Autumn Moon is the nearest moon on Autumn day. Turning around the Earth at a low angle of the horizon during this time of year, the moon rises after sunset for several consecutive days.

The Mid-Autumn Moon also shows a low hanging position in the sky, sometimes appearing deeply with yellow or orange or even a brilliant red.

Moon moon is redder because light passes through the atmosphere more.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Moon rises, the light from it passes through the atmosphere more than the moon coming from above.Atmospheric particles tend to disperse lighter blue moonlight than red, which we can see with our eyes. So the Moon appears more red when the atmosphere passes. Its color is most impressive at night when the atmosphere is particularly sultry or vague.

It is bigger because the clouds create hallucinations.(Photo: space).

The low hanging moon also appears larger than usual. This is actually just an illusion of the moon fooling the feeling of the brain . This phenomenon has been observed by the ancient people but there is no proper explanation.

One cause of the hallucination of the moon we witnessed is just a few miles from us, while the clouds on the horizon can be hundreds of miles away. So we see the moon much bigger.
