Why can you see the full moon only at night?
Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
What is the position of the sun moon and earth during a full moon?
(Sun) (earth) (full moon) so the moon is behind the earth in a full moon.
Where is the sun when you view a full moon?

Do you see a full moon when it is on the opposite side of the sun?
You see a full moon when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, i.e. the Moon is behind the Earth as seen from the Sun, so practically the entire visible face is illuminated. This is also when the Earth's shadow can cross the Moon, creating a "lunar eclipse."
What is a new moon and a full moon's appearance?
You can't see a new moon at all because the sun is behind it and the side we are looking at is not lit up. A full moon can be seen as a fully illuminated circle because the sun is behind us, shining fully on the part of the moon facing us.
Do you see a full moon when the sun is behind and a little above earth?
At full moon, the Moon is basically opposite to the Sun in the sky. That means that the Moon will rise at sunset, and set at sunrise. This may not be entirely exact, but is a good approximation.
The full moon is created when the moon is in what position?
At the Full Moon, the Moon is on the side of Earth that is opposite from the Sun (i.e. behind the Earth as viewed from the Sun), so that the face of the Moon that we see is the half that is illuminated by the Sun.At any other time, we see "phases" of the Moon, because the Sun is illuminating part of the "far side", the face of the Moon that is never seen from Earth.
What kind of moon do we see if the sun is behind the moon?
new moon
Why does the moon get full?
The moon gets full because.... When the sun is on the side of the moon facing away from Earth you cant see the moon. When the sun is on the side facing the Earth you can see the full Moon! it basically relies on where the sun is positioned.
Where is the moon during the full moon?
The moon is sometimes behind the sun covering certain parts of it and when the earth moves we orbit round the sun and the moon goes behind it so we can see it in the day! If you have anymore questions comment below and post your question xD

Where is the moon located in relation to Earth and the Sun when you see a full Moon?
