A blue moon doesn't refer to the actual color of the moon. A blue moon occurs when there are 2 full moons in one month.

There is no cause. A blue moon just means 2 full moons in the same month. It happens when there is one around the first and another around the 31st.

A blue moon is not actually blue. The term describes any time that there is a second full moon in a month.

Time causes an effect we term as Blue moon. It might the second time of the month that old WareWolfy has a go at the cinema goers - on the second time round he stays at home and watches a blue-movie instead..slightly giggling to himself.

Two Full Moon s happening in the same month.
What causes it to happen is a 29.5 day orbital period, which means that rarely a full Moon will happen on the first or second day of the month and another will fall on one of the last days of the same month. Big Whup.
My God! Look at all the outlandish GUESSES!

A "blue moon" refers to the occurrence of the fourth full moon in a season of the year (summer, fall etc). There are many who incorrectly believe that it refers to the second full moon in any calender month but that is not true.

A blue moon is a term used to describe the Moon, usually in the fall, when it reaches a certain point in space and time.
It has to do with closeness, durration from full moon to full moon and time of year.
