The moon doesn't produce it's own light. Therefore, the only it is viewable by earth, is for light to bounce of it, and since the sun is the only remotely close primary light source, only when the sun's rays can reach the moon can it be able to rebound of it's surface and into your eyes.

When you see the moon is full moon?

You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.
