While sailing in its orbit when the Moon comes closest to Earth, i.e. 226,000 kilometres, it shines 14pc more brightly and appears 7pc bigger.
This is when it is called a supermoon. A ‘supermoon’ is a full moon that occurs when the moon’s orbit brings it closer to Earth.
Sometimes, there are two moons in a single month of the lunar calendar. When this phenomenon occurs, the second moon is called a Blue Moon.
