The moon will be just opposite to the sun on its circular path around the Earth, which makes it completely illuminated and is visible as a very bright white disk in our sky. This full moon was known by the Native American tribes as the Pink Moon as April used to bring the appearance of pink Moss.

Jupiter will be close to the Earth and located exactly opposite to the Sun, which says the Earth will be between the two. The giant planet will be brightly illuminated by the Sun’s light just like the full Moon. It will be brighter than any other time of the year. Opposition is actually same as elongation, just named differently. When the angle between the planet and the Sun, is 180 degrees which means completely opposite to the Sun as seen from an observer on the Earth (however because of the huge Earth we can’t actually see them opposite to each other). So, another way to understand this elongation is the brightness of the planet that tells the presence of the Sun just opposite, illuminating it. If you see through Binoculars, you cannot just observe Jupiter but also, its four largest moons, Ganymede, Io, Callisto and Europa.

The moon will be just opposite to the sun on its circular path around the Earth, which makes it completely illuminated and is visible as a very bright white disk in our sky. This full moon was named Native American tribes as Worm Moon, as during this time the ground starts to soften and the earthworms would reappear. 

The moon will be in its Full moon phase. Which means the Moon and the Sun will be just opposite to each other having the Earth between them. This position of the Moon will make its surface fully illuminated by the Sun and will look like a white disk in the night sky as seen from the viewers on the Earth. The full moon usually rise after the Sun completely sets in the West direction as seen from the Earth. Native Americans used to call the full moon of February “The Snow Moon”. This was because of the heavy snow falls in this Month. The name given by them was an identification of the Month of the year as that time there were no calendars or mobile phones to check the month or date of the year. So, the heavy snow falls were a sign of the February Month.

Because in this month a pack of wolves used to howl outside their camps. The name given by them was an identification of the Month of the year as that time there were no calendars or mobile phones to check the month or date of the year. So, when Wolves used to howl they could judge the Month of the year.
