While the average full moon rises about 50 minutes later every night, the harvest moon's rise is just 25 to 30 minutes later across the northern U.S. and 10 to 20 minutes later in Canada and Europe.
The large moon appears with an orange tinge due to what EarthSky says is a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere toward the horizon.
