Lunar phases refer to the different appearances of the Moon as seen from Earth, which are caused by the changing positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun. The cycle of lunar phases lasts about 29.5 days and includes new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon's closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than usual. This phenomenon can happen several times a year and is a popular event for skywatchers.
