SUPER MOON
A Super Moon is a moon that is closest to the earth. For a Super Moon to occur, two things need to happen. The moon needs to be at its closest approach, and the moon also needs to be at its full phase, which happens about every 29.5 days.
Super Moons only happen a few times a year (at most) because the moon's orbit changes orientation while the Earth orbits the sun. That is why there isn't a Super Moon every month.
The moon will appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter, but it is obviously hard to spot the difference or notice it with just the naked eye.
