How does the moon appear to an observer on earth during a full moon?
Full, large or whole. Maybe the question was meant to be...How would the Earth appear to an observer on the moon during a full moon?
Where must the moon be relative to the earth and sun to appear to be full?
The order of the 3 bodies should be Sun -> Earth -> Moon.
When mars is in retrograde motion will it appear brighter or dimmer?
Brighter, since Mars is closest to Earth in its orbit and in a full phase as viewed from Earth.
When Venus is in its full phase what phase would Earth be in as seen by a hypothetical Venetian?
Full. When Venus is full it is on the other side of the Sun, so Venusians would see the Earth also on the other side of the Sun and thus it would also appear "full".
If the moon is half full as seen from earth what would earth look like to a man on the moon?
If you are on the moon at the time of "New Moon", and you are facing the earth, you see a "Full Earth". If you stay up there a while, and call your partner on earth every day, and you describe to each other what you're seeing, you'll notice something very interesting: The part of the moon that HE sees, plus the part of the earth that YOU see, always adds up to a complete circle of illumination. Each of you sees the part of the circle that the other one is missing.

How many times does The US appear on a 100 bill?
"The US" does not appear on the $100 bill. It is always spelled in full.

Can you ever see a crescent Mars?
No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."

Why can you never see a crescent Jupiter from Earth?
Jupiter is further away from the sun than earth and therefore it will always be full
What are the relative position of the sun the moon and earth during a full moon?
When the moon is full, the full of the face of the moon that is facing earth is lit by the sun. The only way this can happen is if the earth is between the sun and the moon. We need the sun "behind us" to allow the sun to light up all of the moon's face so it can appear full.
What is the difference between heaven and earth?
Heaven is awesome and is full of the joy of the Lord, the earth is not as awesome and you can have the joy of the Lord, but you don't always.

Does the earth look bright when it is seen from the moon?
From the surface of the Moon, the Earth appears substantially larger than the full moon does from Earth. This would be expected since the Earth's diameter is 4 times that of the Moon. Also, the Earth is always in the lunar sky for the one-half of the Moon that faces Earth, and is never visible from the opposite side. It would always appear to be in almost exactly the same place. It only appears to "rise and set" along a small strip between the two faces of the Moon.The brightness would vary with the phases, which would be exactly the opposite of the concurrent phase of the Moon: when the Moon is Full, the Earth is new, and vice versa. However, the Earth would be outshone by the Sun for the 14 days of lunar "daylight" in which the Sun and Earth are both always in the sky. This would make the Earth nearly invisible when it was close to the Sun.
How are the sun moon and Earth are positioned relative to each other during a new moon and how this alignment changes to produce a full moon?
During the new moon the Moon is between the Earth an the Sun. Hence only the side that cannot be seen from Earth is illuminated, making the moon appear dark. During the full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear bright.
