What kind of full moon is on October 4 2009?
It is a Harvest Moon.Oct. 4, 2:10 a.m. EDT -- Full Harvest Moon.Traditionally, this designation goes to the full moon that occurs closest to the Autumnal (fall) Equinox. The Harvest Moon usually comes in September, but sometimes it will fall in early October as is the case in 2009; the next time won't come until 2017. At the peak of the harvest, farmers can work into the night by the light of this moon. Usually the full moon rises an average of 50 minutes later each night, but for the few nights around the Harvest Moon, the moon seems to rise at nearly the same time each night: just 25 to 30 minutes later across the U.S., and only 10 to 20 minutes later for much of Canada and Europe. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice -- the chief Indian staples -- are now ready for gathering.
Why does the moon and the sun appear in the day sky and the moon is not full?
The Moon rises about 50 minutes later each night. After a few weeks, it is logically rising in the morning, and crossing the sky during the day. As the month goes on, it eventually is rising at night again. The moons movements are independent of the sun. Though day length varies, the sun is always up during the "day", and gone at night. Not so the moon.

Why the moon changes through a cycle each month?
The moon does not change (much). What an observer on Earth sees changes as the Moon orbits the Earth and the Earth/Moon system orbits the Sun much more slowly is the illuminated portion of the moon growing (covering more and more of the visible portion of the Moon) and when the Moon is full, the Sun Earth and Moon are more or less in line (if they were exactly in line it would be a lunar eclipse - which does happen a few times each year). Then as the Moon continues to rotate around the Earth, night after night, less and less of the illuminated portion is visible to the observer on Earth.

The Earth spinning every 24 hours causes day and night. The Moon has nothing to do with causing day or night. In fact, the moon spends just as much time in the daytime sky every month as it does in the night-time sky.
