Does a full moon cause cooler temperatures?

No. The phase of the moon has no relationship to the temperature here in Earth at all. However, the fact that you can see the full moon tells us that it is night time, and that the sky is clear. Clear skies at night do allow the Earth's heat to radiate away into outer space. Moonlight subjectively feels colder, because we naturally associate light with heat, and the Moon's light gives no heat. So you may FEEL colder when you're outside seeing a full moon.
