You see all of a full moon and it rises at the same time the sun sets. The new moon is only a sliver and is very close to the position of the sun. The full moon rises roughly 14 days after the new moon. The Moon appears full when it is further out in space or away from the Sun with respect to the Earth. The Moon appears new when it is between the Earth and the Sun.

A full moon is when you can see the entire face of the moon lighted by the Sun.

An astronomical new moon (also called a dark moon) is when the entire moon is between the Earth and the Sun such that the far side is lighted but the side toward us is dark and you can see no moon at all. These two events/phases are about 14 days apart. For further clarification visit the related link below.

In the past a new moon was defined as when you could first see a tiny sliver of the moon but that meaning has changed in more modern societies.

A full moon is a complete round moon.

Does the full Moon occur simultaneously around the earth?

Essentially, yes. There is one moment each month when the Moon is PRECISELY "full", but the difference between 12 hours before the full and the full moon is only about 1%. So there is a 24-36 hour window each month when the Moon is at least 98% "full".

What is the difference bbetween fullmoon and halfmoon?

The primary difference between a full moon and a half moon lies in their appearance and the amount of sunlight reflected. A full moon occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, fully illuminating the moon's surface. In contrast, a half moon, or quarter moon, appears when the moon is at a right angle to the Earth and sun, revealing only half of its illuminated side. This results in distinct visual phases that are part of the lunar cycle.


What is the difference between a new moon and any other phase of the moon?
