Exactly what is Supermoon?
The term supermoon was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979, defined as
A new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit (perigee). In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.Effect on tidesThe combined effect of the Sun and Moon on Earth's oceans, the tide, is greatest when the Moon is new or full. Full Moons during lunar perigees (such as in the case of supermoons) exert an even stronger tidal force, resulting in more extreme high and low tides, but even at their most powerful this force is still considerably weak. Dates of supermoons between 1950 and 2050There are approximately 4-6 supermoons annually. The following is a list of past and predicted extreme supermoons.
