Here's the twist: the moon isn't any larger, and it isn't really orange either. What you're seeing is a clever trick played by your eyes and the air itself. When a full moon hangs near the horizon, it looks huge and golden, but by midnight, when it climbs high overhead, it seems to shrink back to a plain white circle. Nothing about the moon changed at all.  \nThat golden color comes from the same air you breathe every day. When the moon sits low, its light has to travel through a thick slice of atmosphere before it  \nreaches you, and that layer scatters away the blue light while letting warm reds and oranges slip through. It's the very same reason a sunset blazes orange instead of white. The giant size, meanwhile, is called the\"moon illusion,\" a puzzle so tricky that scientists still argue about exactly why it happens. One idea is that trees and rooftops near the horizon give your brain something to compare the moon to, fooling it into thinking the moon is enormous.  \nThat enormous, glowing disk isn't the only face the moon shows you. Over about a month, the moon slides through its phases, from a thin crescent to a fat gibbous to the round full moon and back again. This happens because we only see the half of the moon lit by the sun, and as the moon orbits Earth, our view of that sunlit half keeps changing. A full moon rises right around sunset and glows all night long, which is exactly why some full moons became so important to people who worked the land.  \nThose hardworking farmers gave two autumn full moons their own names . The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the September equinox, and for several nights in a row it rises soon after sunset, laying down bright light just when crops are ready to be gathered. Before electricity, that extra glow let families keep bringing in wheat, corn, and pumpkins long after dark. The next full moon, the  \nHunter's Moon, arrives in October, when the light helped people spot deer and other animals fattened up for the coming winter. Both names were used by European farmers and later spread across North America.  \nIt's easy to think those glowing names belong only to the past, but they still light up our calendars today. You'll see the Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon printed in almanacs and splashed across the news every fall, even though most of us now flip a switch instead of racing the sunset. These names remind us that people once planned their whole year around the sky, reading the moon the way you read a clock. So the next time an October moon swells orange above the rooftops, remember you're looking at the same golden lantern that once told farmers it was time to bring the harvest home.  \nThe Hunter's Moon  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) According to the passage, why does a low moon look orange instead of white?\u003Cbr>A.
