<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - On Thursday, November 14, the Earth will witness the moon reaching the perigee region in its orbit around the Earth, which is the point at which the distance between the moon and the Earth is at its closest. On this day, the distance between them is about 360,100 km, noting that the perigee region changes monthly, and the moon is considered giant only when the distance between it and the Earth is less than 360,000 km. The phenomenon of tides usually increases while the moon is at perigee. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/uploads-2020/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D9%85%D8%B1%20%D9%81%D9%8A%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%B6%D9%8A%D8%B6%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B3%20%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D8%AA%D9%85%D9%84%20%D8%A8%D8%AF%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%8B%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A9%20%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%B7%D9%84%D9%82%20%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%87%20%D9%82%D9%85%D8%B1%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%B3.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 600px;" /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> November Full Moon &quot;Beaver Moon&quot; Date</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> On Friday, November 15, the Moon will be a full moon, reaching 100% brightness.
