Rayleigh scattering from the moon light - Earth Science Stack Exchange Answer to this question is very well given at Physics forum pointed out by @gerrit In short, Light should be strong enough in order to notice its colour by human eyes Even on full moon night, light from the moon is 10 times less luminous than the dark limit of civil twilight hence we don't perceive sky color or even moon colour like we do during the day
Golden and red colored light even after sunset I heard about the golden hour, but yesterday I saw golden and red colored patches in the sky even after sunset Why does it happen? And I would like to know more about the science behind the golden
