When is Super Pink Moon: April Full Moon 2021
What is Supermoon and How Often it Happens
You must have noticed that some full moons are brighter than
other full moons. The reason is the position of the moon in relation to earth
when the full moon is happening. The full moon of April is going to be
brighter. These full moons are known as supermoons. This happens because the
moon is coming to its closest position to our planet. This position is in
relation to the position of the moon on its orbit. We have already witnessed
one supermoon in March which was super worm moon. Also, learn what is summer solstice.
Supermoons give us beautiful spectacle as we can see full
moons in its brightest form. Also, they appear to be very close to us. Super
pink moon is on 27th April 2021 at 4.31 AM as per British Summer
Time. This time is one hour ahead to GMT or UTC due to daylight savings in
summer. Super full moon will also appear in May as well as June. The may super
moon is the brightest one among all the four supermoons of 2021.

Supermoons happen when the full moon takes place at the time
of perigee. The phenomenon of perigee occurs when the moon is at its closest
point from earth. Moon keeps revolving on its orbit as well as around the
earth. During a single moon cycle, moon comes at a point when it is at the
least distance from earth.
New moons and full moons are important astronomical events.
Moon has inspired our astronauts, astrologers, and poets equally. To learn more

Also, learn when is the official first day of summer 2021. The positions of the sun and
moon in relation tour planet plays role in formation of day and night and
different seasons. As the sun moves over the equator and changes its direction
from one pole to another, we witness major changes in seasons.
