The position of the full moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, meaning it is positioned at a 180-degree angle relative to the sun from the perspective of Earth. During a full moon, it rises in the east around sunset and sets in the west around sunrise, illuminating the night sky. Its exact position varies depending on the time of year and the observer's geographical location.

The Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the Sun is when there is a full Moon.
In the context of lunar phases, the waxing phase includes positions from the new moon (position 0) to the full moon (position 14), which corresponds to the first quarter (position 7) and the waxing gibbous. The waning phase follows, starting from the full moon (position 14) to the next new moon (position 28), including the last quarter (position 21) and the waning crescent.
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
No, a full moon occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing Earth, which gives it its full appearance. If the sun is behind and a little above Earth, the moon would not be in the position for a full moon.
At full moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun, from our (Earth's) point of view.

A lunar eclipse can only occur on the night of a full moon because of the position that the moon is in during a full moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned in between the moon and the sun exactly so that the Earth casts its shadow on the moon. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are lined up in the same way as a lunar eclipse, but the Earth is either too high or too low to cast its shadow on the moon. The only position at which the moon is a full moon is at that position since we can only see part of the lit face of the moon when the moon is at a different position around the Earth.

The Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the Sun is when there is a full Moon.
The position of the moon has no known influence on what you should eat.
You have a full moon when the moon is on the other side of the Earth from thesun. This allows for the light from the sun to pass the earth, reflect of the entireface of the moon, and come back to the Earth.====================================The sun is always reflecting "off the entire face of the moon" ... that is, lighting uphalf of the moon's surface. The moon just has to be in the right position for us tosee the entire lighted half. When it is in that position, then we call it a full moon.
