A full moon ever comes up in the east close to the hour when the sun is adjusting in the west. At full moon, we're encountering all of the moon’s day face. The moon and sun are lined up, with Earth in between. It is as if Earth is the fulcrum of a swing, and the moon and sun are posing on either end of the swing. So as the sun adjusts in the west, the full moon ascends. When the sun is at a lower place than our ground at midnight, the full moon is most high-pitched in the sky. When the sun gets up once more at aurora, the full moon is going down.
In a lot of ways, a full moon is the inverse of a new moon. At both the young and entire stages, the moon gets on a line with the Earth and sun. At new moon, the moon is in midmost location by the draw. At full moon, Earth is midmost.
Full moon always falls out two weeks later than new moon, when the moon is center around in its area of Earth, as calculated from one new moon to the next.
If there's a lunar overshadow, it has to occur at full moon. It is only a full moon that Earth’s darkness, broadening contrary to the sun, can come down on the moon’s aspect.
