The instantaneous lunar distance is constantly changing. The actual distance between the Moon and Earth can change as quickly as 75 meters per second, [20] or more than 1,000 km (620 mi) in just 6 hours, due to its non-circular orbit. [21] There are other effects that also influence the lunar distance. Some factors are listed in the sections below.
The next full blue moon will occur on Aug. 30. Few things bring inspiration like a clear night illuminated with the moonlight of a full moon. There are 12 full moons this year — one each month.
The supermoon of 14 November 2016 was 356,511 km (221,526 mi) away [1] from the center of Earth. Supermoons occur 3–4 times per year. [2] As the Earth revolves around the Sun, approximate axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane) results in the revolution of the lunar nodes relative to the Earth.

For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 km with a density of 0.5 g/cm 3, its true mass would be only 1.12 × 10 19 kg.
The lunar cycle takes about 30 days (29.5 to be exact) to complete and includes eight moon phases. The four major ones are new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, and third quarter moon.
With a diameter of about 5,270 kilometres (3,270 mi) and a mass of 1.48 × 10 20 tonnes (1.48 × 10 23 kg; 3.26 × 10 23 lb), Ganymede is the largest and most massive moon in the Solar System. [45] It is slightly more massive than the second most massive moon, Saturn's satellite Titan , and is more than twice as massive as the Earth's Moon.
