The earth harbors life, the moon cannot.
Venus and Mars
When it is directly opposite, it would be a Full Moon. But the Moon spends half of its orbit on the side opposite the Sun, which includes all of the Gibbous phases from First Quarter to Last Quarter.
When the moon is full, it's "behind" the earth, that is, in the direction opposite the sun. The three bodies are lined up, with the earth in the middle, like this: Sun ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth -- Moon
A full moon occurs when the moon is opposite the sun in its orbit, which is known as the "opposition" phase. This means that the sun, Earth, and moon are all in a straight line, with Earth in the middle.
The opposite word of full moon is new moon. A new moon occurs when the moon is not visible from Earth, as it is located between the Earth and the Sun with its illuminated side facing away from us.
