Why does the moon appear normally white and not yellow?
After all the sun appears yellow because the atmosphere diffuses Content blue sunlight, leaving a seemingly yellow. While the moonlight is reflected sunlight should act the same way - Ie the content should be dispersed in blue leaving a yellow moon
The scattering of light affects only a small percentage of Total sunlight - it does not significantly change the color. The sun still seems white - in fact, for many situations, the sun's color is used _definition_ white as standard. Only the extraordinary brightness of the sun, which makes this small percentage is scattered to illuminate the whole sky. The the color of the scattered light is itself not a true blue - all wavelengths of visible light are represented, even red, it just that there is a bias towards shorter wavelengths, which results in blue. When you look at the moon the same process applies. Diffusion takes place, but in the same proportion of the total light, which is much less for the moon. This means that there is not enough light to illuminate Heaven significantly (although the effect is certainly significant for astronomers) and the same lack of change in color of the moon itself takes place. In addition since the night the eyes operate in low light conditions, they are naturally less sensitive to color anyway.
