Moonlight is reflected sunlight. When the moon and sun are on opposite sides of the earth the face of the moon we can see is illuminated and it is a full moon. When the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth then the side of the moon away from us is illuminated.

If it is a full moon in Australia is it also a full moon in the united kingdom?
Of course! Full moons are a result of the juxtaposition of the earth and the moon and the sun as the moon rotates around the earth once per month and the earth and the moon rotate around the sun together. While it will be a full moon on the same date, it will be 12 hours later (or earlier) as Australia and the UK alternately face the moon or the sun as the earth spins on its axis. _______________ Editorial note: Just to be clear: it is a bit misleading to suggest that the full moon takes place at a certain time in Australia and then it doesn't happen in the UK until several hours later. The full moon technically happens in a moment, although the full appearance of the moon lasts for the better part of a day. The difference between Australia and Europe is when the full moon is visible.

So if the sun is 'up', then the full moon must be 'down'.You can see the "almost full" moon during the day. When it still has a little way to go before it's full, it will rise shortly before the sun sets. And when the moon is slightly past full, it'll still be in the western sky when the sun rises in the morning.In Arctic or Antarctic latitudes, it is possible to see the Full moon while the Sun is visible "looking over the pole.

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.
