- Super Pink Moon occurred for the second time in the year 2020.
- A Super moon phenomenon occurs when Moon is "full" and reaches perigee.
- Perigee is the point of Moon’s orbit when it's nearest to the Earth.
- Its orbit to the earth is elliptical in Nature.
- Thus, when a full Moon is nearest to the Earth, a Super moon occurs.
- The Moon appears to be 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than the average full moon.
- April Super moon is known as Pink Super moon as it is named after pink flower that is native to eastern North America.
- Therefore, the supermom in the month of April derives its name from this flower.
- It refers to the colour of the flower not the colour of the moon.
