The Moon is full when the entire face of the Moon, as seen from Earth, is lit up.

That occurs half way through the cycle from new moon to new moon.

The phases of the moon go: waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous. third quarter, waning crescent and it starts all over.
