That would place the moon 1/4 of a full sky away from the sun, but the Full Moon is fullonly because it's 1/2 of a full sky away from the sun. So when the moon is full, it must risefrom one horizon at the same time that the sun is setting at the opposite horizon.

When we are seeing moon in the evening seems to be bigger than the moon seeing in the midnight?
That actually depends. If you notice a full moon on the horizon, it seems bigger compared to other things on the horizon. When you notice the full moon closer to its zenith in the sky, it seems dwarfed by the vast expance of sky. The difference is an optical illusion.

What time of day does the full moon happen?
Full moons occur when the moon is at a point in its orbit where it is opposite the sun relative to the Earth. That happens about once a month. It can be at any time of day or night, depending on where you happen to be on the Earth. However, in most places on Earth, the full moon will not appear above the horizon unless the sun is near or below the horizon. So, the moon can be full any time of day, but you'll only be able to see it at night.
