The full moon IS the orbital stage of the full moon....
When the moon has already past full moon stage, and is again at "half moon" stage, that is last quarter, about 21 days after new moon.
It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
If the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic, there would be solar eclipses at every new moon and lunar eclipses at every full moon. They would be ordinary, and we would lose our sense of wonder about them.
Waxing gibbous, a day or two from the Full. The First Quarter moon rises about noon, the Full Moon rises about 6 PM, and the 3rd Quarter moon at about midnight.These APPROXIMATE times are for "standard" time, not DST.
This would either be the full moon if you want to see certain parts or the crescent moon. This is because during a crescent moon, the part of the moon that is bright is slightly brighter than the moon during full moon.
The final stage of the moons cycle is called new moon
The Moon's orbital plane is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane), so the Sun, the Moon and Earth do not perfectly align every new moon or full moon. We can have an eclipse only if the alignment of the three bodies happens along the intersection of the two orbital planes.

Last. No moon is called new moon.
When the moon has already past full moon stage, and is again at "half moon" stage, that is last quarter, about 21 days after new moon.
It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
The moon's "orbital period" is the length of time it takes the moon to make onecomplete revolution around the earth. That period of time is about two days lessthan the time it takes for the moon to go through all of its phases.
Full moon, or 5th stage
If the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic, there would be solar eclipses at every new moon and lunar eclipses at every full moon. They would be ordinary, and we would lose our sense of wonder about them.
You are able to see around about %25 of it
Because the Moon's orbital plane isn't exactly the same as the Earth's orbital plane. The Moon's orbit is a bit tilted compared to the ecliptic, so we only have eclipses when the Moon happens to be either new or full just as the Moon passes through the ecliptic.
The orbital period of the moon [around the earth] is 27.321582 days.
