What is a supermoon Newsela

Answer 1

A supermoon refers to a full moon that appears larger and brighter than usual because it occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, known as perigee. During a supermoon, the moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon. This phenomenon can create spectacular sights in the night sky and often attracts attention from astronomers and casual observers alike.
