In this case the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
During a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun with Earth in between, meaning the moon is closer to Earth and further from the sun. This alignment allows the moon to appear fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
During a full moon, the moon is on the far side of the earth, away from the sun. In other words, the earth is between the sun and the moon. That means that the sun is behind us, shining on the part of the moon facing us. Therefore, we see the fully lighted side of the moon, which we call a full moon.
Yes, a full moon occurs when the entire face of the moon that is visible from Earth appears illuminated. During this phase, the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, with the Earth situated between the sun and the moon.
Both the new moon and full moon phases occur when the Earth, moon, and sun are aligned in a straight line. During a new moon, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, while during a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the moon and the sun. Both phases mark key points in the lunar cycle and have significant impacts on tidal patterns and certain cultural practices.

When the Earth is directly between the Moon and the Sun, it is a full moon.
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
During a lunar eclipse, the moon passes partially or completely through the Earth's shadow. This occurs during the full moon, when the earth is between the sun and moon.
A lunar eclipse
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
A solar eclipse can only happen when the Moon goes between the Earth and the Sun, and that is at new moon. And for a lunar eclipse, the Moon must get into Earth's shadow; that means it must be opposite to the Sun and that means full moon.
During a full moon, the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, with the Earth positioned between the two bodies. This alignment results in the moon being fully illuminated by the sun, appearing as a complete circle from our perspective on Earth.
During the new moon the Moon is between the Earth an the Sun. Hence only the side that cannot be seen from Earth is illuminated, making the moon appear dark. During the full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear bright.
Usually nothing. If there is, and the only thing that would be is Earth, we would get an eclipse.
