A moon is a supermoon when it is at a point called “perigee,” when the moon is at its closest to Earth during its orbit. The moon does not rotate around Earth at an equal distance throughout the year. Tonight, the moon will be 222,365 miles away from Earth, which is 16,490 miles closer than the average orbit of the moon. Because of this, it will appear 16 percent bigger and brighter.
