The science of #supermoons and the effect of the moon's gravity on the earth.
Although the moon falls on its full moon on the 14th day of each lunar month, once in many years the moon is different from the fourteenth moon of all other years. I am called.
The reason why the full moon appears larger than usual is because of its orbit around the earth. This orbit is shaped like an egg instead of being round.
The average distance of the moon from the earth is 238,900 miles, which increases and decreases during its orbit. But such an opportunity comes in about 18/19 years that it comes very close to the earth due to its specific rotation. And it comes to a distance of 221,600 miles from the earth.
The lunar month and year are formed by the rotation of the moon around the earth. A month of the moon is about 29 days and eight hours. The speed of its rotation around the earth is 2300 miles per hour. During its rotation in its elliptical orbit, there is an occasion in about 18 years when the moon comes at its shortest distance from the earth. Which makes it look bigger and brighter than the usual full moon.
The moon also affects the waves of the sea. Scientists say the moon's magnetic pull is due to the tidal wave created by the rising of the moon's knees in the ocean, which attracts everything on Earth. The earth manages to hold solid objects in place, but it cannot completely control the water, which results in high waves in the sea on moonlit nights.
Good
