Question
on november 5th, we will experience a full moon. this moon is a supermoon. why is it called a supermoon? the moon grows in size and shines brighter it is closest to earth and will appear brighter and closer it is furthest from earth and is the dimmest the moon expands to the size of earth.
A supermoon occurs when the Moon's orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time it is full. This proximity makes the Moon appear brighter and larger (closer in visual perception) than a typical full moon. The Moon doesn't actually grow in size (it's a visual effect due to distance) and being furthest (apogee) would be the opposite (dimmer, smaller - not a supermoon). Also, the Moon doesn't expand to Earth's size.
