Answer:
A full moon is a moon opposite from the Sun. It “rises” when the Sun “sets” and “sets” when the Sun “rises” (I put such words into quotation marks because of their geocentric basis). In other words, you can see a full moon only during the nights. Also from the polar areas of the Earth, you’ll at least more often than during the days behold a full moon during the nights, even if, at a pole, a day and a night may take six months. Notable exceptions there can be brought about because the Moon’s orbit around Earth is tilted against ours around the Sun by c. 5 degrees. Close to one of our poles you, because of this tilt, often will be able to watch a full moon from an at least slightly sunlit landscape, throughout many hours.
A new moon is a moon between Earth and Sun, and is usually invisible. It becomes visible for some, as a dark disk over the Sun, when it exactly moves between the Sun and us (a situation called a solar eclipse). As our moon is much smaller than our planet but fairly far away, only a small peak of a cone-shaped shadow of a new moon can reach until the Earth. Solar eclipses, because of this, can only be seen from strongly restricted parts of the half of the Earth pointing to such a new moon.
