They are each a linear or nearly linear alignment of sun moon and earth.
New moon, first quarter, full moon and third quarter
The Moon's orbital plane is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic (the Earth's orbital plane), so the Sun, the Moon and Earth do not perfectly align every new moon or full moon. We can have an eclipse only if the alignment of the three bodies happens along the intersection of the two orbital planes.
The term for the moon when the whole disc is visible from Earth is "full moon." During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a way that the illuminated side of the moon is facing the Earth.
Third quarter moon is when the moon is halfway between full and new, while on the way to new. If you stand with your back to the sun, actually where the sun would be because its probably below the horizon, a third quarter moon will be about 90 degrees to your left, and the left face will be illuminated.
The moon goes from new moon to full moon back to new moon about every month.

there not alike at all new moon is broring and eclipse is really awsome
a full moon is when the moon is completely full and completely round. a new moon is when the moon appears to have dissapeared.
a new moon is when the moon is forming again and a full moon is when the moon is fully formed <><><><><> The new moon is when the Moon is minimally lighted, while the full moon is when the Moon is maximally lighted.
Both full moon and new moon can be seen at the sunset. But full moon in the east and new moon in the west just after the full sunset.
At a full moon.
The opposite of a full moon is a new moon.
we get a new moon and it is either full half full or very small

It takes about 14 days for a new Moon to turn in to a full Moon, and vice versa.
solar eclipse happen at full moon or new moon
