What side of the earth does the full moon rise on?
the moon rises on the east because it rises on the opposite side of the sun which sets on the west.
What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?
The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.

If there is a full moon today in New York state will there be a full moon today in California?
Pretty much so, yes.In exact and precise terms, the Moon is "full" at a specific MOMENT each month, when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. (If it were EXACTLY opposite, we would have a lunar eclipse.) But in the 3 hours that it takes for the Earth to spin from "the Moon overhead of New York" to "the Moon overhead from California", the Moon doesn't move along in its orbit by more than a degree or so.So if the Moon is EXACTLY full when it is overhead New York, it will be fractionally past the full by the time the Earth spins enough so that the Moon is straight up from California. But nobody can see the difference between the "Moon at the full" and "the Moon at 3 hours past the full"; the difference is too tiny to be noticed.
When the moon is full earth or the moon is closer to the sun?
During a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun with Earth in between, meaning the moon is closer to Earth and further from the sun. This alignment allows the moon to appear fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
What is the sun as the full moon sets?
the full moon is rising because during a full moon, the Earth is in the middle of the sun and moon and acts like a fulcrum. thus, when the sun sets in the west, the moon is rising .
What is full moon doing as the sun sets?
During a full moon, it appears opposite the sun in the sky. As the sun sets in the west, the full moon rises in the east, making it visible for most of the night. This is because the moon is positioned directly opposite the sun, so as the sun sets, the moon rises.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
What is the position of the sun moon and earth during a full moon?
During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear fully illuminated from our perspective.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
How does light reach the full moon?
The light from the sun reflects light to the full moon as the sun is always just opposite the full moon except during the new moon time, where there is no moon to be seen.
Why is there a new moon during a solar eclipse and a full moon during a lunar ellipse?
A solar eclipse means the Moon gets in front of the Sun, covers the Sun. When the Moon is in that region, it is new moon. A lunar eclipse means the Moon gets into the Earth's shadow - opposite from the Sun, i.e., during the full moon.
What is the realation between earth and sun during a full moon?
During a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is illuminating the side of the Moon that faces Earth, making it appear fully lit from our perspective. This alignment causes the Moon to appear bright and full in the night sky.

What are the relative position of the sun the moon and earth during a full moon?
When the moon is full, the full of the face of the moon that is facing earth is lit by the sun. The only way this can happen is if the earth is between the sun and the moon. We need the sun "behind us" to allow the sun to light up all of the moon's face so it can appear full.
