The primary difference between a full moon and a half moon lies in their appearance and the amount of sunlight reflected. A full moon occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, fully illuminating the moon's surface. In contrast, a half moon, or quarter moon, appears when the moon is at a right angle to the Earth and sun, revealing only half of its illuminated side. This results in distinct visual phases that are part of the lunar cycle.
