Full Moon
A Full Moon occurs when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky, with Earth situated in between, making the entire sunlit side visible from Earth. This alignment allows us to see the Moon fully illuminated, creating a bright, round appearance. The cycle of phases—from new moon to full moon and back—takes about 29.5 days, driven by the Moon's orbit around Earth. Full Moons are often associated with cultural events, natural phenomena, and certain behaviors, as their brightness and timing influence various ecological and social activities.
