How does sun's position determine if there is a new moon or a full moon?
The sun's position relative to the moon determines whether we see a new moon or a full moon.

During a full moon, the sun is on the opposite side of the Earth from the moon, so sunlight fully illuminates the side of the moon facing Earth.
