During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon appears reddish - orange from Earth. This is because sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere scatters blue light more than red light, and the remaining red - orange light is refracted onto the Moon.

Craters are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets on the Moon's surface. They are circular depressions. Maria are large, dark, basaltic plains on the Moon. They formed from ancient volcanic eruptions that flooded large areas of the Moon's surface with lava.

The leading theory is the giant - impact hypothesis. A Mars - sized body named Theia collided with Earth. Debris from the impact was ejected into space. This debris then accreted over time to form the Moon.

Answer:

The Moon appears reddish - orange. This is due to the scattering and refraction of sunlight by Earth's atmosphere, where blue light is scattered away and red - orange light reaches the Moon.
