Heya,
⏩ Apogee and perigee refer to the distance from the Earth to the moon.
⏩ Apogee is the farthest point from the earth.
⏩ Perigee is the closest point to the earth and it is in this stage that the moon appears larger.
⏩ Astronomers have formulas for computing the exact distance at any point in time, but the average distance from Earth is 237,700 miles (382,500 km).

Answer:
The Moon moves around an elliptical orbit, with the Earth as one of its foci. This means that the distance between the Earth and Moon is always changing. When the Moon is closest to the Earth, it is at its perigee, and when it is furthest away, it is at its apogee.
