ސުޕަރ ހަނދު

A full moon at or near perigee (closest approach to Earth). Appears up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than an apogee full moon. Occurs 3-4 times per year.

ނޫ ހަނދު

The second full moon in a single calendar month. Occurs roughly every 2.5 years. The traditional (older) definition is the third full moon in a season with four full moons.

ހިފާ ހަނދު

The full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. Rises only ~25-30 minutes later each night (vs. the usual ~50 minutes), providing extended evening light for harvesting crops.

ލޭ ހަނދު

A total lunar eclipse turns the moon coppery red as Earth's atmosphere bends sunlight into the shadow. The same physics that makes sunsets red colors the eclipsed moon.

ކުޑަ ހަނދު

A full moon at or near apogee (farthest from Earth). Appears noticeably smaller and dimmer than a supermoon — the opposite end of the lunar distance spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions

ފުރިހަމަ ހަނދުގެ ނަންތަކަކީ ކޮބާ؟

Full moon names are traditional names given to each month's full moon by various cultures. The most widely known are Colonial American names derived from Algonquin and Native American traditions (Wolf Moon, Snow Moon, etc.), but cultures worldwide have their own rich naming traditions.

ކޮންމެ ފުރިހަމަ ހަނދަކަށް ނަމެއް ދެވިފައިވަނީ ކީއްވެ؟

Before modern calendars, people tracked time by the lunar cycle. Each full moon marked a seasonal milestone — the arrival of wolves, the first snowfall, the strawberry harvest. Naming full moons helped communities anticipate seasonal changes and coordinate activities like planting, hunting, and harvest.

ހިފާ ހަނދަކީ ކޮބާ؟

The Harvest Moon is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox (around September 22). It rises only about 25-30 minutes later each night, compared to the usual 50-minute delay. This provided farmers with extended evening light to bring in their crops before winter.

ސުޕަރ ހަނދަކީ ކޮބާ؟

A Supermoon is a full moon that occurs at or near perigee — the Moon's closest point to Earth in its orbit. It appears up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a full moon at apogee (a Micromoon). Supermoons occur 3 to 4 times per year.

ނޫ ހަނދަކީ ކޮބާ؟

A Blue Moon is the second full moon in a single calendar month. This occurs roughly every 2.5 years. The older traditional definition (from the Maine Farmer's Almanac) defines a Blue Moon as the third full moon in a season that has four full moons.

ހުރިހާ ސަގާފަތްތަކެއް ފުރިހަމަ ހަނދަށް ނަން ދޭ؟

Many cultures worldwide have traditions of naming full moons or lunar months. Chinese, Hindu, Japanese, Islamic, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and numerous Indigenous traditions all have distinct naming systems. Some are tied to the solar calendar (fixed months), while others follow the lunar calendar and shift relative to Gregorian dates each year.
