As a child, I always wondered why the moon changed color as it rose higher in the sky. So in my mind I formulated a solution: it got hotter as it went up, so that (like metal, I thought) it was RED hot when it first appeared on the horizon, then rose higher and heated up to YELLOW, then when it was up the highest it was WHITE hot.
