full moon
What else can I help you with?
Where is the full moon compared to the sun?
Full moon occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
What the phase that results when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun?
When it is directly opposite, it would be a Full Moon. But the Moon spends half of its orbit on the side opposite the Sun, which includes all of the Gibbous phases from First Quarter to Last Quarter.
When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
Is the earth between the moon and the sun?
Venus and Mars

What side of the moon are we seeing when the moon is full?
The same side of the moon always faces us, regardless of the phase. When the moon is full that side is fully illuminated by the sun as the moon is approximately on the opposite side of Earth relative to the sun.
What phase of the moon would the sun and moon be on the opposite side of earth?
a waxing gibbous
When do you see the whole lighted part of the moon?
When the Moon is the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun.
Why does the full moon rise at the same time when the sun goes down?
To be full moon, the Moon has to be opposite the Sun - that way, we see the whole of the illuminated side. The only way for the moon to be on the opposite side of earth is for it to be on the night side. Thus the full moon cannot be out during the day.
Why does full moon occur?
This happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. The moon reflects the light of the sun, and because it is directly opposite, we can see half of it from the earth. This is the half that appears as the full moon.
