The moon is always the same size it may appear bigger because more of the sun's light is shining on it, but no the moon does not "grow" or "shrink".
The moon may have appeared bigger than usual due to the "supermoon" phenomenon, where the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee. This can make the moon appear larger and brighter in the sky.
Mars is bigger than Earth's moon. Mars has a diameter of about 4,212 miles, while Earth's moon has a diameter of about 2,159 miles.
there are different moon phases
It is the Earth, which is bigger between the moon & the earth.

a "perigee Moon,"
the moon is closer than usual by like 3000 miles =)

The moon appears bigger tonight in 2019 due to a phenomenon called the "supermoon," where the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee. This makes it appear larger and brighter in the sky.
No. The Moon is about 3rd Quarter tonight, 8/3/2010.
Yes, it is a new moon tonight.
The moon may appear larger tonight due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion," where the moon looks bigger when it is closer to the horizon. This illusion is caused by the way our brains perceive the size of the moon in relation to objects on the horizon.
There's a Moon Out Tonight was created in 1961.
The moon appears big and orange tonight due to a phenomenon called the "supermoon." This occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee, and is also a full moon. The combination of these factors makes the moon appear larger and brighter than usual. Additionally, when the moon is low on the horizon, its light passes through more of Earth's atmosphere, causing it to appear orange or red in color.
Either full moon, or the moon is on a collision course with Earth and we're all going to die, in which case the name hardly matters.
Moon illusion is when the moon seems bigger when it is rising. So really the moon is not bigger it is in the mind.
No, the moon does not grow or shrink in size. The appearance of the moon changes throughout its monthly cycle due to its position relative to the Earth and Sun, causing it to go through phases from full to new and back again.
