Full moon.
The time the full moon rises and sets can vary depending on your location and the date. In general, the full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, so it is visible in the night sky for most of the night. You can use a moon phase calendar or a stargazing app to find specific times for your location.
If tonight the phase of the moon is full when it rises what will be the phase 4 days from now is in the waning gibbous stage.
The full moon will appear in the eastern sky at sunset, as the sun is setting in the west. The moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, and it reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight.
Yes, as the moon is orbiting the Earth, the moon rises and sets at different times each day or night. All of the waxing moon phases (i.e. waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous) rise during the daytime before sunset.

The moon phase that occurs after sunset and before sunrise is the waxing crescent. This phase appears as a thin sliver of light on the right side of the moon. It is considered the beginning phase of the lunar cycle.

The lunar cycle begins at the New Moon when the moon has just passed the sun in its travel from west to east in the "pm" sky, and it sets just after sunset. After a week the moon is a quarter of its way around the Earth and so at sunset it is high in the sky. This is called the First Quarter. The first Quarter Moon follows the sun from east to west and sets at midnight. When the moon has done half of its monthly journey, it is on the side of the Earth opposite the Sun and the Moon is Full. It rises at sunset and can be seen in the sky all night, setting at dawn. In the Third Quarter Phase, the moon is three quarters of the way around and at sunset it is directly below us. It has apparently shifted from the sunset area (at New Moon) to overhead at sunset (First Quarter) to Eastern horizon at sunset (Full Moon), to below us at sunset (Third Quarter). At Third Quarter, the Moon rises at midnight and will be high in the sky at sunrise. It will set about mid-day.
