At full moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun, from our (Earth's) point of view.
when the moon is in a high or low position. p.s. Trenton Coty Dow found this out. =)
It is between the Sun and the Earth
Full moon, or 5th stage
As far as I know, there are full and partial eclipses of the full moon and every other moon phase. It all depends on position and timing of the moon and the planet or star that eclipses it. Full or partial eclpise can only occur at Full Moon.
No. The position the Moon has to be in for a full Moon is completely different than for a new moon. When we have a full Moon the Moon is on the opposite side of us to the Sun. When we have a new Moon, the Moon is on the same side of us as the Sun. It takes about 2 weeks for the Moon to go between those two positions, so it is not possible for it to happen on the same day.

(Sun) (earth) (full moon) so the moon is behind the earth in a full moon.

A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.

The position of the moon has no known influence on what you should eat.
You have a full moon when the moon is on the other side of the Earth from thesun. This allows for the light from the sun to pass the earth, reflect of the entireface of the moon, and come back to the Earth.====================================The sun is always reflecting "off the entire face of the moon" ... that is, lighting uphalf of the moon's surface. The moon just has to be in the right position for us tosee the entire lighted half. When it is in that position, then we call it a full moon.
