INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -A supermoon occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest (perigee) to Earth at the same time the Moon is full.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Moon’s orbit around Earth is elliptical. The point of the orbit closest to Earth is called perigee, while the point farthest from Earth is known as apogee. The point on the Moon’s orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee. The point farthest on the moon’s orbit away is the apogee.

Detailed explanation-3: -The point on the Moon’s orbit closest to Earth is called the perigee and the point farthest away is the apogee.

Detailed explanation-4: -The point of closest approach to the Earth is known as the perigee (from the Greek peri = near). At this point in the orbit, the object is moving at its maximum speed (Kepler’s Second Law). The perigee refers specifically to orbits around the Earth, and is equivalent to the periapsis of a general orbit.

Detailed explanation-5: -The point in the moon’s orbit where it is farthest from the earth is called apogee, while it’s closest approach is known as perigee.
