The full moon in July will look very low in the sky after sunset. This is mostly caused by close to the turning point of the summer sun, when the sun is at the highest point in the daytime sky, and the moon follows a low path throughout the night.

According to the Almanac website, the full moon in July is called buck moon because male deer horns are in full growth mode at this time. Male deer releases and re -growing its horns every year, producing larger and more impressive horns over time.

How to see buck moon July 2025

Launching the Space page, the best time to see the full moon in July is a few hours after the month of publication on July 10, when the moon disk will look bigger than the actual size, thanks to ‘the illusion of the Moon’.

You can also see Buck Moon turning into a golden or reddish hue shortly after publication. This warm hue is caused by rayleigh scattering, the same effect that causes the sunset and colorful sunrise.

This happens because the sunlight reflected from the moon must travel further distances through the Earth’s atmosphere to reach us when under the horizon than when it is right above the head, which causes more light in a blue wavelength to spread, while allowing the reder wavelength to enter.
