Answer:
A full Moon occurs when the Moon has moved in its orbit so that Earth is “between” the Moon and the Sun. Between the new and full Moon, the amount of Moon we see grows — or waxes from its right side toward its left side.

Answer:
The diagram shown is typical of those used to describe the phases of the Moon, but it is easy to become confused if the diagram is not interpreted correctly. There are two representations of the Moon shown for each of the eight lunar phases. The smaller half-gray circles represent how the Moon is illuminated by the Sun throughout its orbit. Each symbol is exactly the same indicating that one-half or one hemisphere of the Moon remains illuminated throughout its orbit. The larger white circles, on the other hand, indicate how the Moon appears in the sky during each of the lunar phases. To demonstrate how illumination and appearance are related semi-transparent carets are positioned to indicate which part of the Moon's Earth-facing side is illuminated during each phase. During the New Moon the far side of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, while the side that faces the Earth lies in darkness so the Moon is invisible. As the Moon follows its path from the New Moon position more and more of the Earth-facing side becomes illuminated resulting in the “waxing” phases. When the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun its Earth-facing side is fully illuminated producing the Full Moon. As the Moon follows its path from the Full Moon position less and less of the Earth-facing side is illuminated resulting in the “waning” phases.
