The planet Venus is _NEVER_ seen in the full phase, because it never gets anywhere near the Earth. Venus is in a closer orbit to the Sun than the Earth is, so when Venus is closest to the Earth, it's pretty close to being between the Earth and the Sun. In fact, Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun twice per century, most recently in 2004. We call this a "transit of Venus".
So we only see Venus in its crescent phases.
Think about it . . . In order to see the complete illuminated side of Venus,
we'd have to be looking at it through the sun.

∙ 10y agoOne significant difference is that we see Full Moons all the time
but we can never see a "full Venus" from Earth.
If we could, Full Moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, whereas
"full Venus" and the sun would be in exactly the same direction from us.

Why the sun rises in the morning?
The sun rises because of the position of the earth in relation to the sun. One complete revolution of the earth happens every 24 hours. While the earth is turning it seems that the sun is in a different spot in the sky, but the sun is stable and the earth is spinning.
How is the position of the full moon in relation to Earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venus in relation to Earth and the Sun?
When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.
