The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
When the Moon is nearest to Earth in its elliptical orbit, this point is called "perigee." During perigee, the Moon appears slightly larger and brighter in the sky compared to when it is further away, a phenomenon often referred to as a "supermoon." The opposite point, where the Moon is farthest from Earth, is called "apogee."
