Other names for the June full moon include Berry Ripen Moon, Green Corn Moon and Hot Moon. The best time to see the full moon in the entire Asian continent including India will be Friday. During this time, the moon will bring bright light after sunset. During Strawberry Moon, the moon will appear exceptionally large, but it will not be a supermoon. To see the supermoon, one will have to wait till August and after that 4 consecutive supermoons will be seen. The full moon of June has been named Strawberry Moon by the tribes of America.

According to Space.com, this does not happen usually. This happens once in 19 to 20 years. At this time the Sun will be at its maximum point in the sky, so the Moon will appear lower in the sky and will look bigger. At the same time, in many European countries, Strawberry Moon is also known as Honey Moon. There is a big reason behind this, because at this time the honeycombs are ready. This is the time for farmers to extract honey, so it is also known as Honey Moon.
