The Sun is about 400 times wider than the Moon and about 400 times farther away, so from Earth the two look almost exactly the same size. That coincidence is why the Moon can cover the Sun so neatly.

00:00 Day 14.8 · Full moon

Twelve uses

A full moon rises as the Sun sets and is highest around midnight.

There are usually twelve full moons a year, and each has an old name. Here are twelve kinds of business the name suits, one for every full moon. A lunar eclipse can only happen at full moon, when Earth sits between the Sun and the Moon; the Moon turns red because Earth’s atmosphere bends red sunlight into its shadow.
