WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL MOON AND SUPERMOON?
What is super moon?
"
Supermoon" Is a full moon with some special features which appears during phase or period when the distance of moon from the earth is closest which is also known as perigee (Perigee is the point or location where the distance between earth and moon is least). Mainly there are two positions according to the distance - Perigee and Apogee (Apogee is the point or location where the distance between Earth and satellites is greatest),
Supermoon appears during Perigee.
It appears larger than the usual moon as it is closest to the earth.The diameter of Supermoon is approximately 7% larger than the usual average size full moon and it looks approximately 16% brighter than the average size moon. It is very thought to identify the difference of distance, size and brightness of supermoon from the average moon from our naked eyes.
Impact of supermoon on Earth.
As the distance of
Moon from the Earth is minimum during
supermoon so it's gravitational pull is increased which affects tides to rise up to almost 15cm on Earth. This force is not much to influence humans, it is negligible, but some people have claimed they have felt the effect of this force, but it's not confirmed officially. This is called the
Lunar.
What is Full Moon?
Full moon appears when one side of the moon is facing towards the earth and fully illuminated by the sun. Not every full moon looks same from earth, some are small, average and big, The size of
full moon depends on the distance of the moon from the earth. If it's close to the earth then it looks big and if it's far from earth then it looks smaller. There are also some colour variations in moon. Sometimes it looks red or pink depending on the angle of moon from the Earth and Sun.
Full moon appears every month.
Difference between full moon and supermoon.
Supermoon
-
supermoon itself a
full moon which looks brighter then regular moon because of it's distance from the the Earth is closest. It appears every year but it's size is not always same, there are also many sizes of supermoon, big size
supermoon appears rarely.
Full moon
This phenomena happen when one side of the
moon is facing towards the Earth and the hemisphere of moon which is facing toward the Earth is totally lit up by sun rays.
Full moons are a monthly phenomenon and it's influence on tides is regular.
Great work bro
