Full Moon...When The Side Of The Moon We See Is Fully Lit.
When the moon is fully visible to observers on Earth, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle, causing the moon to be fully illuminated by the sun.
The phase of the moon when it is fully illuminated and appears as a whole circle is called a "full moon." This occurs when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
A full moon is fully illuminated, where the entire side facing Earth is lit up. It occurs when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky.
When the moon is a complete circle, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, with the side of the moon facing Earth fully illuminated by the sun.
When the moon appears as a full circle, it is known as a "full moon." This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon to be fully illuminated from our perspective.

No. Only half of the moon is illuminated at any one time. During a full moon, the half facing Earth is fully illuminated.
A decrease in the illuminated portion of the Moon is called waning. When the illuminated portion is increasing, it is called waxing.
Yes. A gibbous moon is a three-quarter moon.
A gibbous moon is when the illuminated portion of the moon is more than half but less than fully illuminated. This occurs during the waxing phase after the first quarter moon and before the full moon.
The moon would be called a waxing gibbous when it is just larger than a half.
When the right half of the moon is illuminated it would be called first quarter. (That's when you see the Moon from the northern hemisphere.)
