Why is the moon round on August 15th?

Because on this day, the moon runs in the positive direction of the earth, and we see the moon from the earth, just in the positive direction of the moon, just like two points and one line.

The moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical orbit. It takes an average of 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes from one full moon to the next. When you look at it, the moon, the earth and the sun are closest to a straight line, so the moon is the roundest and brightest. However, due to the speed of the moon's rotation, the time to reach Wangwang is different every time, mostly in the early morning of the 16th or 17th lunar month.

The most perfect and brightest moment of the moon is when looking. On the first day of the lunar calendar, when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, the half moon illuminated by the sun is just behind the earth, and we can't see the moon, which is called "new moon" or "new moon"; On the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, when the moon moves in the opposite direction to the sun for the earth, we can see a full moon, which is called "full moon" or "looking".
