Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon. This is every time you happen to see it near the horizon, but it is only an illusion.

Does the earth spin around the sun or moon?

The Earth neither spins round the Sun nor the Moon. The Earth rotates(spins) on it own axis, top give us night and day. The Moon revolves (orbits) round the Earth once a month (Moonth). The Earth and Moon, as a binary system revolve (orbit) round the Sun once a year. The Moon making 13 orbits of the Earth in once a year.


What is the Moon's rotational period in years?

The rotation of the moon, or the time it takes to rotate on it's axis exactly once, is 27.322 days (rounded), and the moon's orbital period, or the time the moon takes to complete one full revolution around the Earth, exactly the same. That's why the Moon appears to always show the same face. We see the same side of the moon and never get to view the far side from Earth.


Brightest moon in 30000 years?

Tonight's full moon will be the brightest this year, but not QUITE as bright as the full moon last month. Last month and this month, we have a "perigee moon", when the full moon corresponds to the closest point in the Earth's orbit. The "perigee full moon" appears about 15% larger and 30% brighter than the "average" full moon.


Frequency of full moon?

The full moon occurs approximately once every 29.5 days. This means there are about 12-13 full moons in a year, varying slightly due to the length of lunar months and the calendar year.


How does the sun and the moon move across the earth?

umm... the sun does't move but the earth orbits the sun once a year and it rotates on its axis once every 24 hours this causes night and day. The moon orbits the earth i think :)
