Check out the Supermoons and Micromoons for 2037. A Supermoon is a full moon or new moon that occurs when the moon is at or near its closest approach to Earth in its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. A Micromoon is a full moon or new moon that occurs when the moon is at its farthest point from the Earth in its orbit, making it appear smaller and dimmer in the sky. Thanks to our Supermoon Calendar, you can find the exact dates and times of all Super Full Moon, Super New Moon, Micro Full Moon and Micro New Moon in 2037. The dates and times are in UTC and your local time.
An orange moon means the shorter wavelengths of light are being filtered away. This could be due to the low position on the horizon causing the light to go through more atmosphere, smoke in the air, or pollution.
More Moon FactsIt depends on the time of day. The Moon is very hot in the daytime and very cold at night. The average temperature on the Moon varies from -298 degrees Fahrenheit (-183 degrees Celsius), at night, to 224 degrees Fahrenheit (106 degrees Celsius) during the day.
More Moon FactsNo, it doesn’t generate its own light. “Moonlight” is really sunlight that has reflected off of the Moon’s surface. In the same way that the Sun illuminates Earth, the Moon reflects the Sun's light, making it appear bright in our sky.
More Moon FactsHere are the top 5 things that make the Moon so unique.
1. The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite.
2. Moon dust smells like gunpowder.
3. The Moon keeps the same face pointing toward the Earth.
4. The Moon has no – or just a really thin – atmosphere so there is no weather.
5. The Moon is visible in daylight nearly every day.
A "micromoon" is a term used in popular astronomy to describe a full moon or a new moon that occurs when the moon is at or near its apogee, which is the furthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit. This is the opposite of a "supermoon," which occurs when a full moon or new moon is at or near its perigee, which is the closest point to Earth in its orbit."
More Moon FactsAn analysis of moon's mineral composition suggests that the moon is around 4.425 billion years old.
More Moon PhasesNo, the moon has no water and has only a very thin and tenuous atmosphere (called an exosphere) so it cannot trap heat or insulate the surface. So, for example, there is no wind to create weather system. The Moon does, in fact, affect the Earth's climate and weather patterns in several subtle ways.
More Moon PhasesThe Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet's wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate.
More Moon PhasesAn orange moon means the shorter wavelengths of light are being filtered away. This could be due to the low position on the horizon causing the light to go through more atmosphere, smoke in the air, or pollution.
More Moon PhasesThis is an optical illusion. The Moon looks large shortly after it rises when it's still touching the horizon. This is not the same as a Supermoon.
