What is a "super moon"

When the moon and the sun are on both sides of the earth, and the difference between them is 180 degrees, the moon seen on the earth is the roundest, which is called "full moon" or "looking". The 14, 15, 16 and even 17 of each month in the lunar calendar are all possible periods for the full moon to appear.

In a calendar year, there are usually 12 or 13 full moons. If the full moon happens just near perigee, the moon will look big and round. They are called "super moon" or "super moon". "Super Moon" is not uncommon, once or twice a year, and as many as three or four times. When the full moon occurs closest to the time when the moon is at perigee, the annual "maximum full moon" will appear.
