The Blue Moon phenomenon occurs__________ |
when two full moons occur in the same month. when two full moons appear in the same month thrice in a calendar year. when four full moons appear in two consecutive months of the same calendar year. None of the above |
when two full moons occur in the same month. |
The correct answer is Option (1) - when two full moons occur in the same month. A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month, and the period from one full moon to another is about 29 1/2 days. So, when two full moons occur in the same month, the first one is always on the first or second day of the month and the second one is on the 30th or 31st day. |
