What is the chance of 2 blue moons in the same year it happens in 2018...how rare is that?
A "blue moon" has been defined as two full moons in the same month. This can happen in any month except in February. It isn't all that rare; it happens about every other year.Two "blue moons" in the same year can only happen in January and March, which is what happens in 2018. That's because February is the only month in which it's possible to NOT have ANY full moons; February has only 28 days, and a month is 28.5 days!We can expect this (two "blue moons" in the same year) about every 31 years; any time the Moon is full on January 2, it will be full again on January 31, March 2 and March 31.

How many full moons are there in a month?
How many full moons per month? Usually, one, but it is possible to have two, as there are 13 lunar months and 12 calendar months in a year. When do full moons occur? The moon revolves around the earth roughly once each month. (Moonth). When the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, it catches the full sunlight, making it look big and round. When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, all we see in the lunar night side. This is called the "new" moon. Half moons result when the earth is at roughly right angles to the moon and sun.
