   When does the Moon appear full?

   • The Moon appears full when it reaches the halfway point of its orbit—that is, when it is directly opposite the Sun, with Earth in between. Due to its position opposite the Sun, the full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. The cycle of lunar phases lasts close to a month, at 29.5 days, a period known as the synodic month.

   How often does a full moon occur?

   • Thus, the full moon occurs typically once per calendar month, but, when the full moon happens within the first two days of a given month, a second full moon may occur within the same month. This phenomenon, known as a “ blue moon ,” occurs on average about once every 33 months, though there have been years in which two blue moons have occurred.

   Is a full moon always full?

   • Most of the time, the full moon isn't perfectly full. We always see the same side of the moon, but part of it is in shadow, due to the moon's rotation. Only when the moon, Earth and the sun are perfectly aligned is the moon 100% full.

   What happens when the Moon is in its full phase?

   • When the moon is in its full phase, it passes behind the Earth with respect to the sun and can pass through Earth's shadow, creating a lunar eclipse. When the moon is fully inside the Earth's shadow, we see a total lunar eclipse.

   When does a full moon rise?

   • Each full moon is calculated to occur at an exact moment, which may or may not be near the time the moon rises where you are. So when a full moon rises, it’s typically doing so some hours before or after the actual time when it’s technically full, but a casual skywatcher won’t notice the difference.

   When is a full moon called a supermoon?

   • When a full moon occurs close to the perigee, it is often regarded as a supermoon, a term coined in the 1970s. This phenomenon usually occurs in about four or five consecutive lunar cycles per year.
