A supermoon happens when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, called perigee, and it’s also in a full phase. This makes the moon look bigger and brighter than usual. It's like when you're holding a flashlight close to your face, it looks way brighter than when it's far away.
Examples
- Imagine the moon as a giant flashlight, when it's close, it shines brighter and looks bigger.
- It’s like looking at your friend through a magnifying glass, they look larger and more vivid.
- If the Moon was a chocolate chip cookie, a supermoon is like eating it right from the oven.
