Q. The blue moon phenomenon occurs
Solution:
A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: either the third of four full moons in a season or a second full moon in a month of the common calendar.
The phrase has nothing to do with the actual colour of the moon, although a literal “blue moon” may occur in certain atmospheric conditions: e.g., if volcanic eruptions or fires leave particles in the atmosphere of just the right size to preferentially scatter red light.
