Suddenly, over the far edge of the world, a huge orange moon climbs into the sky. It looks so big you feel like you could reach out and touch it, and it glows like a giant pumpkin resting on the treetops. This is the moon that autumn is famous for, and people have watched it for thousands of years.  \nThat pumpkin-colored glow has a surprising secret: the moon is not really orange at all. When the moon sits low near the horizon, its light has to pass through a thick blanket of air, dust, and water droplets, which scatters the blue light and lets the orange and red colors reach your eyes. It also looks enormous down low, but that is a trick your brain plays called the moon illusion. If you hold up your pinkie finger, you will see it covers the moon whether the moon is low or high, which proves it never really changes size.  \nThe moon does change in another way, though, growing and shrinking as the weeks go by. Over about 29 days, it moves through its phases, from a thin curved sliver to a bright, round full moon and back again. A full moon happens when the sun lights up the whole side of the moon that faces Earth. The full moon closest to the first day of autumn earned a special name long ago: the Harvest Moon.  \nFarmers gave that autumn moon its name because it did something helpful during their busiest season. Around the time of the Harvest Moon, the moon rises soon after sunset for several nights ina row, so the sky stays bright a little longer. Long before electric lights, farmers used that extra glow to keep gathering crops like corn and pumpkins after dark. The next full moon after the Harvest Moon got a name too, one that fits this spooky time of year.  \nThat next moon is called the Hunter's Moon, and people say hunters once used its early light to track animals across the bare, harvested fields. These autumn moons usually appear in September, October, or November, depending on the year. Every so often the Harvest Moon lands in early October instead, which pushes the Hunter's Moon into November. So the next time an orange moon rises like a lantern over the fields, remember it once served as a giant nightlight for farmers with work still to do.  \nThe Hunter's Moon  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
