It's strictly atmospheric. But everyone has it when there's a certain angle of sun, and the angle of the moon in accordance to the atmosphere is just right.

OK, simple question, simple answer: The earths atmosphere acts like a giant prism and breaks down the lightwaves according to their frequencys- we see blue during the midday hours because they're shorter. Yellow in the late morning and late afternoon, and red before sunrise and sunset. The colors may change slightly based on pollution

the moon reflects sunlight...when the sun hits it at a certain angle, different wavelengths of light are reflected more than others.
Plus, the moon's position in the sky in relation to earth affects it too. Where it is in the night sky (closer to the horizon, etc.) determines how the reflected light travels through the atmosphere to our eyes. this can make it seem bigger as well as different colors.

Yeah i have considered that too. It receives refracted by potential of the air even as there is distinctive haze. The air acts type of like a magnifying glass. i imagine it truly is what occurs n e way. Or it should be that when it is low contained in the sky it has better air to bypass through and that has an similar result, like a telescope.

If there is haze on the horizon the moon will have a reddish hue.

it works on the same Principal of why is the sky blue? and how do we see in colour?
White light contains ALL colours of the spectrum and when it comes into contact with an object or molecule it will reflect ONLY the same colour of the object and absorbing the other colours
try it isn't to in depth

pollutants in the atmosphere, while beautiful, its not romantic when you stop to "think" about. So just enjoy.
