Question

(e) What causes the Full Moon?
​

Answer 1

The relative positions of our Sun, Earth, and Moon, cause these changes. As our Moon orbits around Earth, the side facing the Sun is always illuminated, just like Earth's daylight side is illuminated by the Sun. ... A full Moon occurs when the Moon has moved in its orbit so that Earth is “between” the Moon and the Sun.
