No, a full moon cannot typically be observed from Earth at noon because it is positioned opposite the sun in the sky. During a full moon, the moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, making it visible primarily at night. However, during certain times around the full moon, it may be low on the horizon during the early morning or late afternoon, but it won't be directly overhead at noon.
When the moon is fully visible to observers on Earth, it is said to be at its full moon phase. This occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the Earth in between the sun and moon. The full moon appears as a complete circle and is the brightest phase of the moon.
New Moon occurs when the Moon and Sun are on the same side of the Earth, so around dawn. A new moon can occur at any time of the dayThe new moon rises about the same time that the Sun rises.
The noon rotates on its axis once in 28 days or so, we get a full moon then.
The period of the complete cycle of phases of the moon is about 29 days. So, exactly 15 days after the moment of Full Moon, it will have just passed New Moon. If you can see it at all at that time, it will be the skinniest possible crescent, very close to the sun in the sky.
A third quarter moon is when the moon has made it three quarters around the Earth during a lunar month (starting from new moon). The third quarter moon phase somes in between Full moon and New moon - meaning that it is a waning "half moon". A third quarter moon rises at midnight and sets around noon.
At full moon - that's when the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
Technically, no, it's not strictly speaking true. However, you're unlikely to ever be in a place where it could be visible at noon. The full moon is always on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, meaning that in order to see it at noon, you'd have to be near one of the poles.
Either first quarter rising at noon or the third quarter moon setting ar noon, the moon is usually better observed when it is lower in the sky.

The phase of the moon that is highest in the sky at solar noon is typically the full moon. This occurs because, during a full moon, the moon is positioned opposite the sun, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise. As a result, it reaches its highest point in the sky around solar noon. Conversely, during the new moon phase, the moon is generally not visible at solar noon, as it is close to the sun in the sky.
The New Moon can't be seen at any time of day. In addition, the first quarter moon is just rising at noon, and the third quarter moon is just setting at noon. So practically everything between first quarter and third quarter is below the horizon at noon, and not visible.
One- one full turn= one full day
The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.
The noon rotates on its axis once in 28 days or so, we get a full moon then.
Because of the Earths' rotation the moon will always rise in the east no matter what its' phase.
The period of the complete cycle of phases of the moon is about 29 days. So, exactly 15 days after the moment of Full Moon, it will have just passed New Moon. If you can see it at all at that time, it will be the skinniest possible crescent, very close to the sun in the sky.
