What is the position of the sun moon and earth during a full moon?
During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear fully illuminated from our perspective.
When the Moon is full where is it in its orbit around Earth?
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
Where is the sun when you view a full moon?
When you view a full moon, the sun is directly opposite the moon, which is why the moon appears fully illuminated. This positioning is known as "opposition" and it occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
Why don't you have a lunar eclipse during every full moon?
The moon orbits the Earth and it is tilted by five degrees to the Earth's ecliptic plane, so that the moon will either be above or below the ecliptic at most full moons, this in turn prevents the moon from entering the Earth's shadow - hence no lunar eclipse.
Why is the full moon not in the shadow of the earth?
Because the Sun, Earth and Moon are not directly aligned. When they are the Moon does indeed pass through the shadow of the Earth in what is called a lunar eclipse, an event that only happens during a full moon. However the Moon usually passes above or below the shadow of the Earth. This is also the reason why solar eclipses do not happen every month.
Do you see a full moon when the sun is behind and a little above earth?
At full moon, the Moon is basically opposite to the Sun in the sky. That means that the Moon will rise at sunset, and set at sunrise. This may not be entirely exact, but is a good approximation.

Is Venus in its full phase visible from earth?
No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.
The position of the moon in its orbit when at new or full phase?
New is when the moon is in front of the earth and full is when it is behind the earth because the sun is shining directly onto it, face on. answer is syzygy
Why don't people on Earth see an eclipse of the moon every full Moon phase?
The Moon orbits around the Earth on an angle so it usually does not go directly behind the Earth. When it does move directly behind the earth, that is when we see a lunar eclipse.

Why don't earth see an eclipse every time there is a full or new moon?
The moon's orbit is not exactly in the same plane as the Earth and sun are. So at the time of Full Moon, the Earth's shadow is usually above or below the Moon, and misses it. And at the time of New Moon, the Moon's shadow is usually above or below the Earth, and misses it.

Why we don't have solar eclipse on every 1st moon?
The plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees from the plane of the Earth's orbit. So most of the time, when the New Moon or Full Moon happen, the Moon is a little above or a little below the line from the Earth to the Sun. There are only two eclipse opportunities each year.
What are the relative position of the sun the moon and earth during a full moon?
When the moon is full, the full of the face of the moon that is facing earth is lit by the sun. The only way this can happen is if the earth is between the sun and the moon. We need the sun "behind us" to allow the sun to light up all of the moon's face so it can appear full.
