It means that it is full moon. At that moment, the Moon is more or less opposite to the Sun in the sky. Since you also mention "low in the sky", this combination also means that it is either just after sunset, or right before sunrise.

Our moon was formed by a celestial object colliding with Earth. The lower density

materials were the materials that fell off during this collision. Those low density

materials grouped together and formed the moon.

Note from another contributor . . .

. . . except for the fact that out of well over 100 known natural satellites of

the planets in our solar system, Earth's moon is the second most dense one.

The moon revolves about the Earth (in approximately a circular orbit) and thus can be seen at any elevation in the sky.

Does the moon appear to be a different size when it has risen full?

The full moon appears larger when it's low in the sky than it does when it's high. That's easily shown to be an optical illusion. For example, when the moon is photographed both high and low in the sky, both images on the film are the same size.

Is the full moon high or low in a June sky in the U.S.?

For the full moon to be especially high in the sky as viewed from North America, it must have a substantial north declination, as listed in the nautical almanac. Declination is the "apparent latitude" of a celestial body. (See the link below for the online nautical almanac.) The full moon in June 2010 was June 26. The Moon's declination was 24 degrees south. On June 15, 2011, (the date of the full moon) the Moon's declination will be 23 degrees south, so the full moon will be fairly low on the horizon as viewed from North America. In fact, I sampled a number of years, and the full moon of June generally has a substantial SOUTH declination. So, for those years, June's full moon is generally low in the sky.
