Therefore, the moon will sometimes be close to the earth, sometimes far away from the earth, and the closest to the earth. is called perigee, otherwise it is apogee.

When a full moon occurs, if the moon is near perigee, the moon appears large and round at this time, which is called a "super moon" or "super full moon".

　　"Supermoons" are not uncommon, ranging from once or twice a year to three or four times a year.

There are two "super moons" this year. The first is the full moon on June 14, and the full moon is at 19:52; the second is the full moon on July 14, which is also the biggest "super moon of the year". "The roundest moment will appear at 2:38 on the 14th.

The next "supermoon" is expected to appear on August 31 next year.
