Basically, because the months we use are slightly longer than the lunar period (the time from one full moon to the next).
Blue Moons aren't like solar eclipses - they don't just happen to a certain part of the Earth. A blue moon is just the name for the event where a full moon happens twice in the same month; The second full moon in that month is called a "blue moon". You can see the moon from anywhere on the Earth in a 24 hour period, so yes, the next blue moon will happen "over" the US.
No. A blue moon happens when there is a second full moon. A solar eclipse happens when there is a new moon and it is right between the sun and the earth. But it is possible to have a blue moon and a lunar eclipse at the same time.
A blue Moon is when 2 full moons happen in 1 month.
Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon happened in 2005.
its very possible but i doubt it will ever happen
"once in a blue moon"
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.
No. The moon has no atmosphere, and thus it cannot have tornadoes or any sort of weather.
The second full moon of any month is called a 'blue moon'. It is a rare occurrence. The saying 'once in a blue moon' means that something does not happen very often.
A blue moon occurs when two full moons happen in one month. Since one full moon occurs every 28 days, it doesn't happen very often, hence the phrase.
Once in a blue moon! Well that is what the second full moon in a month is called, a blue moon. It is very irregular, sometimes it can happen multiple times a year or even two months in a row. Other times it can be years between them.
Yes sometimes there are 2 full moons during one month. These do not happen very often and the second full moon is called a 'blue moon', hence the expression, "once in a blue moon".
