What is a supermoon?
A supermoon orbit is closest to the Earth. Due to its proximity to our planet, the moon appears very large and bright. This month’s Super Pink Moon is reported to be 3,56,907 kilometres from our planet and the average distance between Earth and Moon is generally 384,400 kilometres.
The full moon is not necessarily a supermoon, because the moon revolves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. The full moon can be visible to us even when it is far away from our planet. According to a CNET report, the April 8 supermoon will be the biggest and most spectacular supermoon of the year.
Why is it called Pink Moon?
When it comes to the name Full Moon, the process usually depends on the Native American regions and seasons. Although the name ‘Pink Moon’ does not mean that the colour of the moon appears pink on this day, rather the name comes from a pink flower (Phlox subulata), which blooms in spring in the east of North America.
When was the last supermoon of 2020?
The last supermoon of 2020 appeared between 9 March and 11 March. The March supermoon was popularly called the Super Warm Moon.
