Double or Full beds are 15 wider than a Twin, but if two share the bed, each has only 27 of personal space -- much less than a twin! A Queen bed is 6 wider than a Double bed, allowing more room for each person, but still 9 less than a twin bed.
The two points at which the Moon's orbit crosses the Earth's orbital plane are called the nodes of the Moon's orbit. So another way to state the conditions for a lunar eclipse is that (1) it must be full moon, and (2) the Moon must be at or quite near one of the nodes of its orbit. î î î.
Thatâs because this lunar eclipse coincides with another astronomical event: a supermoon. Thatâs what itâs called when the moonâs mostly elliptical orbit brings it closest to Earthâs surfaceâabout 220,000 miles away instead of its average 240,000 miles. During this total lunar eclipse, the moon will appear about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than Earthlings are used to seeing it.
