What Makes a Supermoon?


⁠ Elliptical Orbit :  The Moon's orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle but an ellipse, meaning the distance between them varies throughout the orbit. 

Perigee: The point in the Moon's orbit where it is closest to Earth is called perigee. 

Full Moon : A full moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned, with sunlight reflecting off the entire lunar surface toward Earth. 

Supermoon Event: 
⁠
⁠A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the Moon's perigee. 

How Supermoons Appear: Larger and Brighter:  A supermoon can appear up to 14% larger in diameter and 30% brighter than a typical full moon when it's at its farthest point from Earth (apogee).
