The Science Behind Supermoons: Why They Appear Bigger And Brighter
What Is A Supermoon: A supermoon happens when a full moon reaches its closest point to Earth, called perigee. This makes it look larger and brighter than a regular full moon. The Moon’s orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle but an oval shape, meaning its distance from Earth changes. When the full moon coincides with perigee, it creates the supermoon effect.
