When do you have a full moon?

You have a full moon when the moon is on the other side of the Earth from the

sun. This allows for the light from the sun to pass the earth, reflect of the entire

face of the moon, and come back to the Earth.

====================================

The sun is always reflecting "off the entire face of the moon" ... that is, lighting up

half of the moon's surface. The moon just has to be in the right position for us to

see the entire lighted half. When it is in that position, then we call it a full moon.
