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.

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.


What are the names of the two full moons in one month?

That's a "Blue Moon" . . . the second Full Moon in the same CALENDAR month.The cycle of moon-phases is 29 days, so there has to be a full moon on the 1st or 2nd of the month,in order to have another one before the end of the month.December 2009 will have Full Moons on the 2nd and the 31st. That will be the first time in a little over 3 years.


Why is the full moon not on the same day for each month of the year?

Because the months are not the same length as the time between full moons. The months are not even all the same length as each other, so there's no way they could match up with anything that always takes the same length of time.
