Best Answer

Whenever it is at its perigee, i.e. its closest distance to Earth. This happens every 27,55 days, a time interval known as an Anomalistic Month. The moon perigee can vary between 356000km and 370000km, so the moon's apparent size varies accordingly. However, you'd not be able to tell the difference without an accurate measurement.
