Snow Moon coming tomorrow; What does that mean?
(WHTM) — A Snow Moon is projected to be seen tomorrow in the sky. According to a full moon is a monthly occurrence when the earth is precisely sandwiched between the sun and the moon, causing the entire side of the moon that faces us to gleam under sunlight. The site says due to the moon's orbit around Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting the lunar surface and being reflected to our planet changes, creating lunar phases. According to the Royal Museum of Greenwich, the moon produces no visible light of its own, as we can only see the parts of the moon that are lit up by other objects. The museum says a small amount of light comes from distant stars and the reflection of light from the earth (known as Earthshine), and the main source of light for the moon is the sun.
