So what is the weather like across the country? Is it suitable to watch the spectacle? Hu Xiao, chief meteorological analyst of China Weather Network, said that the eastern part of the northwest, most of the Huanghuai, Jianghuai, and northern Jiangnan will be mainly sunny, which is conducive to viewing; while southeastern Inner Mongolia, northeastern Hebei, western Liaoning, Shandong Peninsula, and the coastal areas of Jiangsu Affected by the cold vortex, the weather is not good, and the above-mentioned areas will be covered by large clouds, which is not conducive to viewing; the southeastern coastal and southern China areas are affected by the intersection of cold and warm air with frequent rains, making it difficult to watch the super moon.
In big cities such as Xi'an, Taiyuan, Nanchang, Wuhan, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Yinchuan, Hefei and other places, the sky cloudiness is less conducive to viewing, and the probability of encountering this "astronomical drama" is higher.

It is understood that the reason why the full moon is different in size is because the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit, sometimes closer to the earth and sometimes further away. Its orbital period is approximately 27.3 days, which is the orbital period of the moon around the earth. The point in orbit closest to the Earth is called perigee, and the farthest point is called apogee. When the moon is at perigee, it is closest to us and appears largest. When it is at apogee, it is furthest away from us and appears smallest. If the full moon happens to appear near perigee, the moon will look "big and round", which is called a "supermoon".
