Full moons occur when the moon is at a point in its orbit where it is opposite the sun relative to the Earth. That happens about once a month. It can be at any time of day or night, depending on where you happen to be on the Earth. However, in most places on Earth, the full moon will not appear above the horizon unless the sun is near or below the horizon. So, the moon can be full any time of day, but you'll only be able to see it at night.

Is it true that there can be 2 full moons in 2 days?
No. A completely full moon happens at a moment in time, and it won't happen again for another 29.5 days. However, if the moment of the full moon is near midnight where you live, then technically it happens a day earlier one timezone east of you, and the day after one timezone west of you. This is why the precise time of the full moon is normally expressed in Greenwich Mean Time.
Does lunar eclipse happens on every full moon day?
Yup u r right it happens only on a full moon day becaus lunar eclipses happen when the Earth's shadow falls on the moon, hiding it from the sun's light. For this to happen, the moon must be on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, so the full half of the moon that is lit by the sun is visible from Earth. That is what full moon is.

What moon sets 2 to 3 hours after the sun sets?

Is it possible to have a new moon and a full moon in the same day?
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.
