A Full Moon
The phase of the moon when it is fully illuminated and appears as a whole circle is called a "full moon." This occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
When the moon appears as a full circle, it is known as a "full moon." This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to be fully illuminated from our perspective.
A full moon is a moon that appears as a complete circle in the sky, when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, illuminating the entire near side of the moon.
A week after the Full Moon the Moon looks like a semi circle again, this phase is called ''Third Quarter''

The phase of the moon is called a first quarter or last quarter moon when it appears as a semi-circle. This occurs when the moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, resulting in half of the illuminated side facing Earth.
About a week after the full moon, the moon is called the last quarter moon and it's "face" appears to be half lit. More than half lit is a gibbous and less than half lit is a crescent.
When we see the moon as a perfect circle, it is called a "full moon." This phase occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, allowing the sun's light to fully illuminate the moon's surface. During a full moon, the moon appears as a bright, round disk in the night sky.
The moon appears as a bright circle during the full moon phase. This occurs when the Earth is directly between the sun and moon, with the sun fully illuminating the side of the moon facing Earth, making it appear as a complete circle.
Waxing crescent is the phase that follows the new moon when it appears as a small outer portion of a circle.
