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.
A new moon is a moon that is completely hidden from sight.

∙ 9y agoThe term "new moon" refers to when the moon is closest to the sun as observed from Earth. The moon is usually not observable during this time, and the sky seems to be empty of anything but stars. This is the first lunar cycle. A full moon is when the moon is fully illuminated as seen from Earth, and appears round in the sky. This is the third lunar phase.

thus it becomes brighter and changes from a thin crescent to a full circle of light.
