What are some characteristics of a full moon?
At a full moon, 100% of the visible surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun. Half of the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun, and half of the Moon is visible from Earth. But they're not usually the same half. At a full moon, they are. This happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are approximately lined up in the sky. If the alignment is exact, we'll have a lunar eclipse because the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow, which is the only time that less than half of the Moon is lit up.
