Did you see the moon last night or this morning? It is a 'supermoon'. That is the closest moon to earth of the year - 357,000km away. This is also why tides are high at the moment - do you know how they are connected? Leave a comment below.
However, at the full and new moons, you have higher-than-average "spring" tides, because the gravitational pull of the Moon lines up with the much lower gravitational pull of the Sun.
