What month will you have a blue moon?

That depends on which definition of blue moon you mean. If you mean the third full moon out of four in a season, you will never have one within two months of an equinox or solstice. If you mean the second occurrence of a full moon in a month, you will never have one in February.


Why does a blue moon never occur in the month of February?

The popular definition of a "blue moon" is: "The second Full Moon in the samecalendar month".Although the origin of the term "blue moon" is nothing like that definition,we'll go with it, because that's what everybody nowadays thinks it is.The period of the moon's phases ... the time it takes to go through all of them ...is 29.531 days. (rounded)February has 28 days in three out of four years, and 29 days every fourth year.So February is never quite long enough to score two Full Moons.Even if it was a Leap Year and February 1 began at the exact instant of Full Moon,the next instant of Full Moon wouldn't occur until about 12hours 45minutes afterthe end of February 29th.


When does a blue moon happen?

A blue moon is any full moon that happens to be the second full moon in a calendar month. Therefore blue moons invariably happen near the end of a month. As the lunar cycle is just about 28 days, it would be a very rare occurrence for one to happen at the end of February, but otherwise they are a natural phenomenon.


How often do blue moons occur?

A blue moon happens about once every 19 years. When this happens, there isn't a full moon in February which puts two full moons in two other months.
