The moon of the holy month of Ramadan arrives today, Thursday, the stage of the full moon, and it represents the fourth and final giant full moon this year 2020, where its apparent size and illumination will be greater than the average, and it is an ideal opportunity for photography.
The moon will arrive at the moment of completion at 10:45 am GMT and will have cut half of its orbit around the Earth.
After that, the moon will shine from the eastern horizon with the setting of the sun, covering a reddish hue or orange as a result of dust and other plankton in the atmosphere around the earth that scatters white light reflected from it and disperses the colors of the blue spectrum and the colors of the red spectrum that we see remain, but after rising and moving away from The horizon will appear in the usual silver white color, and this happens every month.
The astronomical association in Jeddah says: The giant moon is a description given to the moon, whether in conjunction or full moon when the distance between the center of the moon and the center of the earth is within 362.146 km, a term that refers to the scientific designation (perigee moon) and means the moon is located at the closest point to the earth, and in the case of This full moon will be 361,182 kilometers
In general it is difficult to notice a difference in the apparent size of this giant full moon with the naked eye compared to the rest of the other full moon, but seasoners may be able to distinguish an additional apparent size of this full moon when it is high in the sky.
Like the previous giant moons, there will be no significant impact of this giant full moon on our planet except for the phenomenon of tides, which is normal. Every month, on the full moon’s day, the Earth, moon, and sun are regular, and this causes wide range tides and islands. The high tide rises exceptionally and in the same Today, the lowest islands occur exceptionally, and since the full moon will be close to the point of perigee, the tide will emerge in a phenomenon called the perigee high tide.
Since the difference resulting from the giant full moon will be limited, there will be no effect on the balance of the energy of the interior of the earth, because a tidal wave occurs every day, so an increase in geological activity or unusual weather conditions is not expected.
It is worth noting that this time of the lunar month is ideal for seeing radioactive craters on the surface of the moon compared to the rest of the terrain that looks flat and their shades are very short because the face of the moon is located entirely in the sunlight.
