The highest tides — king tides — are seen during new and full moons when the sun, Earth and moon are in a line.

The Moon will be in a waxing gibbous phase – going from half moon to full moon.

If you catch a glimpse of the full moon in the next couple of nights, you might notice how bright it is.

A supermoon occurs when the full moon is at its closest possible point to Earth, which causes it to appear 14% larger and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the year, according to NASA.

The harvest moon refers to the full moon that appears closest to the fall equinox.
